(SUFFOLK, Va. - June 1, 2009) -- Fleet and Industrial Supply Center, Norfolk, Philadelphia Office has awarded two contracts, both with multiple awards, to support U.S. Joint Forces Command's (USJFCOM) joint experimentation and concept development efforts.

The three projects MACs were awarded to Science Applications International Corporation, General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems, and Northrop Grumman Space & Mission Systems Corporation.

These contracts are valued at approximately $49 million each or approximately $260 million each over five years.

Work on all of these contracts will start Aug. 1.
