DynCorp Secures Navy Contract for Seal Beach Base

Officials at DynCorp Inc., a Reston, Va.-based information services firm, said Thursday that it won a Navy contract to provide engineering, operational and technical services for the Naval Weapons Station in Seal Beach.

The initial three-month contract has a value of $5 million. But the contract includes yearly options for renewal that, if exercised, give the award a potential value of $100 million, DynCorp officials said.

DynCorp held the information services contract for the Naval Weapons Station from 1965 to 1988 but lost it in 1989 to PVA Inc. in Norco.

Richard Brabec, vice president of government services for DynCorp, said no new hiring is expected because DynCorp plans to hire most of the 750 people who are currently working for PVA.

Under the terms of the contract, DynCorp will provide engineering, analysis, data processing and other services in support of various weapon programs.
