General Dynamics Electric Boat Corp.'s Groton, Connecticut-based unit has been awarded a $95 million modification to an existing contract by the U.S. Department of War to provide submarine support services, the department announced Wednesday.
The contract modification, issued under contract N00024-24-C-2124, is structured on a cost-plus-fixed-fee basis. Under the change, the Electric Boat unit will furnish engineering and technical services, act as a design agent, and deliver planning yard support for operational strategic and attack submarines.
Work associated with the modification is scheduled to be carried out at multiple locations. The largest share - 70% - will be performed in Groton, Connecticut. Additional work will take place in Kings Bay, Georgia (13%); Bangor, Washington (10%); Pearl Harbor, Hawaii (3%); North Kingston, Rhode Island (2%); and Newport, Rhode Island (2%). The contract modification sets a completion date of June 2026.
At the time the modification was awarded, the Navy obligated $4,818,962 in funding to support the work. Those funds come from three sources: $2,600,000, or 54%, from fiscal 2026 research, development, test and evaluation funds; $1,793,786, or 37%, from fiscal 2026 operations and maintenance funds; and $425,176, or 9%, from fiscal 2024 other procurement funds. The announcement notes that $2,218,962 of the obligated amount will expire at the end of the current fiscal year.
Naval Sea Systems Command, based in Washington, D.C., is identified as the contracting activity that issued the modification. The awarding of the contract modification was completed on Monday.
Context for the award
The modification expands support services for operational strategic and attack submarines, maintaining engineering and design agent responsibilities as well as planning yard functions. The distribution of work across multiple naval and shipyard locations is specified by percentage of effort and culminates in the June 2026 completion date noted by the contracting authority.
Financially, the award includes a small obligated portion at the time of the modification, with a portion of those obligated funds slated to expire with the current fiscal year. Naval Sea Systems Command is the administrative contracting authority overseeing the modification.
