U.S. Navy commissioned officers will be attending programs devised by Creek Technologies, General Dynamics Information Technology, Digital Consulting Services, DeVine Consulting and MAC Consulting Services.

The U.S. Department of Defense announcement said that each contract included a one-year base period and four year option periods.

Furthermore, if all options are exercised, the DoD said the contract value would reach a ceiling value of $502,670,476.
