Definitive Contract N0002413C2307

This is a major contract awarded by the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) for the construction of DDG 51 Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers. The $3.5 billion, fixed-price incentive contract was awarded to Huntington Ingalls Inc., a leading military shipbuilder, to construct up to ten DDG 51 Flight III destroyers between fiscal years 2023-2027. This contract is part of the DDG 51 major defense acquisition program managed by NAVSEA under the Major Capability Acquisition pathway. While the contract does not have any set-aside designations, Huntington Ingalls has partnered with several subcontractors, including minority-owned and small disadvantaged businesses, to support the ship construction effort. These subcontractors provide a range of services including ship repair, maintenance, engineering, and component manufacturing. The DDG 51 program is a critical naval shipbuilding effort that enhances the capabilities of the U.S. Navy's surface fleet.
