About this award

The Naval Sea Systems Command awarded a $429,000 firm fixed-price definitive contract to Dcx-Chol Enterprises, Inc. (operating as Masterite Division) on March 1, 2023, for the VLS Forward Closure program. This small business set-aside contract calls for the manufacture of 143 MK25 Forward Closures (part number 7117021-9) in support of the Vertical Launching System, a critical shipboard weapon system used across the U.S. Navy fleet. The work will be performed in Los Angeles, California, with an ultimate completion date of October 2, 2026. Dcx-Chol Enterprises, a Los Angeles-based manufacturer specializing in electronic components and precision assemblies for defense applications, has demonstrated capability in supplying components for naval systems through prior awards from Naval Sea Systems Command and the Defense Logistics Agency.

This award supports the Navy's ongoing logistics and sustainment requirements for the Vertical Launching System, which serves as the primary missile launch platform on numerous naval vessels. Dcx-Chol's selection reflects the company's established track record as a reliable supplier of specialized hardware and components for naval platforms, including prior work on VLS Module Electronics Boxes and Hazard Electronics Boxes valued at $23.2 million. The small business set-aside designation ensures participation from qualified small enterprises in defense industrial base modernization and sustainment efforts. No major subcontractors are identified in the award documentation, indicating that Dcx-Chol will execute the work as a prime contractor directly for Naval Sea Systems Command.
