General Dynamics regularly works on the Stryker program and it landed a Defense Department contract in June to upgrade the vehicles' hulls.
The contract announced Thursday covers parts for the entire program, the Defense Department said.
The eight-wheeled vehicles have undergone a transformation in recent years to bolster their ability to withstand explosions, particularly from improvised explosive devices.
General Dynamics' work on the latest contract modification will be funded on an order-by-order basis, as will the location of the work.
The Defense Department estimates work will finish February 2019.
