The U.S. Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic Fleet) awarded a definitive firm fixed-price contract valued at $540,376 to Bahrain Ship Repairing & Engineering Co. (Basrec) on July 24, 2025, for inactive continuous maintenance availability (ICMAV) services on the USS Dextrous (MCM 13), an Avenger-class minesweeper. The repair package comprises 24 work items and one option work item, with performance scheduled for completion by September 15, 2025. The contract was awarded on a full and open basis with no set-aside designation, reflecting Basrec's competitive standing in the naval maintenance market.
Basrec, a Manama, Bahrain-based maritime maintenance specialist registered in SAM.gov since 2003, serves as a critical contractor for U.S. Navy operations in the Persian Gulf region. The contractor holds a significant $50 million single-award Basic Ordering Agreement with Naval Supply Systems Command through September 30, 2031, which functions as the primary procurement vehicle for comprehensive maintenance, repair, and alteration services across the Navy's Atlantic and Pacific fleets. This ICMAV contract award on the USS Dextrous demonstrates Basrec's established capabilities in maintaining operational readiness of naval assets through skilled labor, materials, and technical expertise.
