Dynamics Research Corp. reports it has landed $12.9 million from the U.S. Air Force. Under the contract, Dynamics Research (Nasdaq: DRCO) will perform IT services for the Air Force Global Logistics Support Center, part of the Air Force Materiel Command located at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio.

The Andover-based company will determine the extent of the problems the Air Force is having with its D200A data quality system. Dynamics Research will identify discrepancies, initiate corrections and provide visibility of data. The company will also maintain web applications to assist in the tracking, scanning and organizing of data, identifying anomalies in the system and correcting them.

Earlier this month, Dynamics Research landed an $11.4 million deal from the U.S. military’s health-care plan. The deal is a task order on an indefinite quantity/indefinite delivery deal awarded in March to the company by Tricare, the military’s health-care plan. Under the order, Dynamics Research will provide program management services for the traumatic brain injury and psychological health program.

In October, Dynamics Research won a $14.9 million Homeland Security contract to develop enterprise architecture for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) division of DHS.

The contract came from the office of the Chief Information Officer for ICE and was awarded to Kadix Systems LLC, a subsidiary of Dynamics Research. The deal has a one-year base period and four one-year options. Andover-based DRC will provide business engineering services, technical support, design and architectural support for ICE, according to officials.

Founded in 1955, Dynamics Research reported a 2007 net income of $7.1 million on revenue of $229.6 million.
