The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) awarded numerous multiple-award contracts (MAC) to support sustainment for Littoral Combat Ships (LCS) based in San Diego on Wednesday.
The Navy awarded MACs to BAE Systems, Vigor Marine LLC, General Dynamics [GD] National Steel and Shipbuilding Co. (NASSCO), Marine Group Boat Works LLC, Pacific Ship Repair and Fabrication Inc., and East Coast Repair and Fabrication. The first awards for helping maintain San Diego-based ships are called MAC I and have a ceiling of $250 million.
The indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts entail work for scheduled maintenance availability continuous maintenance, emergent maintenance, preventative maintenance, facilities maintenance and corrosion control in the continental U.S. (CONUS) and outside the CONUS (OCONUS).
NAVSEA also awarded secondary IDIQ MACs to support sustainment execution efforts for LCS ships based in San Diego, called MAC II. MAC II work consists of support for preventative maintenance, facilities maintenance, and corrosion control in CONUS and the contracts have a ceiling of almost $110 million.
MAC II awardees include Life Cycle Engineering Inc., Colonna’s Shipyard West LLC, Continental Tide Defense Systems Inc., Epsilon Systems Solutions Inc., Southcoast Welding and Manufacturing LLC, and Q.E.D. Systems Inc.
NAVSEA specified MAC I holders will perform all OCONUS work and CONUS Chief of Naval Operations (CNO)-scheduled maintenance availabilities, emergent maintenance, and continuous maintenance. MAC II holders will conduct CONUS preventative maintenance, facilities maintenance, and corrosion control.
The MAC II orders are expected to be set aside for small business, which includes all of the MAC II holders and some MAC I holders.
Individual delivery orders will be competitively awarded under these two contracts. Each has a five-year ordering period expected to end by February 2023.
