$200M for DDG 51 AEGIS Destroyer Support in Virginia
Northrop Grumman Ship Systems in Pascagoula, MI and Bath Iron Works of Bath, Maine, are each being awarded cost-plus-award-fee, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity multiple-award contracts (MAC), for a not-to exceed task order ceiling of $200 million. Each MAC holder will compete for task order and delivery order awards for the accomplishment of Post Shakedown Availabilities (PSA) for DDG 51 Class AEGIS Destroyers homeported in Norfolk, VA. Contract funds will be obligated at the time of delivery order award, and as such, multiple funding types (with varying expiration dates) may be used, consistent with the purpose for which the funds were appropriated.
Specific efforts will include: engineering and management in support of PSA; labor and procurement of material to correct Government-responsible deficiencies and accomplish system upgrades; perform specified PSA work items inclusive of tests and post repair sea trials; task additional man-hours and material in order to complete emergent repairs. Work will be performed in Norfolk, VA, and is expected to be completed by March 2010. This contract was competitively procured via Navy Electronic Commerce Online (NECO), with two proposals received. The Naval Sea Systems Command in Washington, DC issued the contracts. (Northrop Grumman Ship Systems: N00024-05-D-2300; Bath Iron Works: N00024-05-D-2301).
