(Fairfax, Va., August 13, 2008) -- General Dynamics Information Technology, a business unit of General Dynamics (NYSE: GD), has been awarded a contract by the General Services Administration in support of the U.S. Navy's Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Southwest Mishap Prevention & Hazard Abatement (MP/HA) program.
