A General Dynamics (NYSE: GD) subsidiary will provide planning yard support services for the U.S. Navy’s Zumwalt-class guided missile destroyers under a potential five-year, $343.7 million contract.
The cost-plus-award-fee contract has a $22.7 million base value that will run through March 2025, the Department of Defense said Friday.
Planning yard work includes DDG 1000 maintenance and modernization planning, integrated logistics support and ship change document development services,
General Dynamics Bath Iron Works will also provide emerging technical problem investigation and resolution, ship change document development support and other design and engineering products needed to support the modernization and sustainment of the DDG 1000-class destroyer.
The majority of the work will occur in Bath, Maine, and the Navy expects contract work to continue through March 2029 if all options are exercised.
Naval Sea Systems Command is the contracting activity and will finance the contract using the service branch’s research, development, test and evaluation, shipbuilding and conversion and operations and maintenance funding for fiscal year 2024.
