Huntington Ingalls Industries Fleet Support Group has received a contract modification valued at $220.7 million from the U.S. Department of War to provide engineering maintenance support for Navy aircraft carriers and west coast surface ships.
The modification is structured as a cost-plus-fixed-fee, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) adjustment that expands a previously awarded contract under the identifier N00024-21-D-4114. Under the terms, the company will deliver engineering maintenance assist team services for both aircraft carriers and surface ships, covering overhaul and repair of onboard equipment and systems.
Work under the modification is planned to take place aboard Navy aircraft carriers located within the continental United States, outside the continental United States, and at forward deployed locations. The period of performance for the contract modification is expected to extend through February 2027.
At the time the modification was awarded, no funds were obligated. Instead, funding will be apportioned on a task-order basis as individual orders are issued against the IDIQ vehicle.
The Naval Sea Systems Command, operating from Washington, D.C., is the contracting activity managing the award. Huntington Ingalls Industries Fleet Support Group operates out of Virginia Beach, Virginia.
Context and contract structure
The award augments an existing IDIQ contract, preserving the ability for the Navy to issue multiple task orders over the life of the agreement. The cost-plus-fixed-fee arrangement specifies that costs incurred will be reimbursed, with a fixed fee applied, and the IDIQ format leaves quantities and timing of specific orders to be defined through subsequent task orders.
Operational footprint
Performance locations specified in the award cover a broad geographical scope: aboard aircraft carriers operating within the continental United States, aboard carriers and ships outside that area, and at forward deployed locations. The award language indicates that the company will support overhaul and repair of equipment and systems, though the modification does not list individual orders or immediate funding at award.
Contacting authorities
The contracting activity for this action is Naval Sea Systems Command in Washington, D.C. Huntington Ingalls Industries Fleet Support Group is listed as the performing organization and is based in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
