Austal USA, Epsilon Systems Solutions and Continental Maritime of San Diego have secured positions on a 19-month, $344.7 million contract to sustain littoral combat ships for the U.S. Navy.
The three shipyard operators will compete for delivery orders to perform sustainment work on LCS vessels homeported in San Diego, the Department of Defense said Wednesday.
Naval Sea Systems Command received three offers for the multiple-award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract via a full and open competition.
NAVSEA is obligating a guaranteed minimum amount of $5,000 for each contractor’s initial order and expects the ordering period to conclude in February 2023.
Continental Maritime of San Diego was part of Huntington Ingalls Industries‘ (NYSE: HII) before the shipyard’s sale to Titan Acquisition Holdings.
