The U.S. Navy this week awarded five firms slots in a $751 million ship repair, modernization, and maintenance contract for non-nuclear surface ships at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
The contract is divided into two lots. Lot I, with a maximum ceiling value of $571 million, includes Epsilon Systems Solutions Inc., Vigor Marine, LLC and Pacific Shipyard International.
Lot II, with a not-to-exceed maximum ceiling value of $180 million, includes Epsilon, MARISCO Ltd., Propulsion Control Engineering, and Pacific Shipyard International.
The Navy named surface ships suitable for this repair and modernization work include destroyers, cruisers, amphibious transport docks, dock landing ships, America-class amphibious assault ships, Wasp-class amphibious assault ships, Cyclone-class patrol ships, Avenger-class mine countermeasures ships, and Littoral Combat Ships.
The Navy said this covers ships undergoing Chief of Naval Operations-scheduled maintenance availabilities visiting or assigned to Pearl Harbor, which can be docking or non-docking availabilities.
The contract notice noted this is a multiple award contract (MAC) with options that, if exercised, would raise the total cumulative ceiling value for Lots I and II combined to $851 million.
The Navy said these availabilities will be authorized via competitive procurement of MAC holders for individual delivery orders.
“Each MAC award recipient will provide the facilities and human resources capable of completing, coordinating and integrating multiple areas of ship maintenance, repair and modernization,” the notice said.
Work will occur at Pearl Harbor and is expected to be finished by Jan. 2025.
Fiscal year 2020 Navy operations and maintenance funding will be obligated at the time of each delivery order award and expire at the end of the current fiscal year.
The Navy said this award was competitively procured with eight offers received.
