General Dynamics Electric Boat Corp. in Groton, CT received a $285.9 million cost plus fixed fee contract for “design agent, planning yard, engineering, and technical support for active nuclear submarines.” This contract includes options which would bring the cumulative value of the contract to an estimated $1.788 billion if they are all exercised and funded.
Under the terms of the contract, GDEB will provide design, engineering, material and logistics support, and research and development activities for active U.S. Navy nuclear submarines and submersibles. Since the USN has an all-nuclear fleet, this means all American submarines. Electric Boat will also provide information services, planning, scheduling and technical support for submarine maintenance and modernization activities, training and facility support, and affordability/cost reduction support.
Work performed under the initial award is expected to be complete by October 2009. It will be performed in Groton, CT (73%); Kings Bay, GA (11%); Bangor, WA (8%); Quonset, RI (6%); and Newport, RI (2%), and is expected to be complete by October 2009. Contract funds in the amount of $34.3 million will expire at the end of the fiscal year. This contract was not competitively procured by the Naval Sea Systems Command in Washington Navy Yard, DC (N00024-09-C-2101). See also: GDEB release.
