Delivery Order N0016720D0006-N0016723F0182

On September 25, 2023, the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) awarded a $890,385 firm fixed-price delivery order to QED Systems, Inc., a Virginia Beach-based small business specializing in naval vessel maintenance and modernization. The contract covers execution work to accomplish ready-for-issue preparation, modernization, and incidental repairs to three patrol boats designated 25PB0313, 25PB0315, and 25PB0320. Work will be performed in Virginia Beach, Virginia, with an ultimate completion date of October 23, 2024. This delivery order was issued under the Watercraft Industrial Support indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity master contract and carries no set-aside designation.

QED Systems engaged Productive Engineering Systems, Inc. (doing business as American Stripping Company), a veteran-owned Norfolk-based surface treatment contractor, as a subcontractor to support execution of the work. Beginning in October 2023, ASCO performed blasting and painting services on the patrol boats, with subsequent task modifications through March 2024 that resulted in scope reductions. ASCO's involvement reflects QED Systems' common practice of collaborating with specialized subcontractors to enhance service delivery capabilities across hull, mechanical, and electrical systems repair and restoration work supporting NAVSEA's maritime vessel maintenance mission.
