This $14,798 firm-fixed price purchase order was awarded by the U.S. Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic Fleet), a component of the U.S. Department of the Navy, to Insignia Shipping Services LTD, a foreign-owned, for-profit logistics company. The contract is for the inspection, diagnosis, and repair of one 4.5 meter pneumatic fender in Tromso, Norway. This requirement was competed without a set-aside and originated from a solicitation issued by the Naval Supply Systems Command.
Insignia Shipping Services LTD is a global logistics provider that specializes in husbanding services for Navy ships and units worldwide. The company holds two significant federal contract vehicles with the Department of the Navy - a single-award IDIQ contract for material handling equipment and a multiple-award IDIQ for global husbanding support services valued up to $653 million. This specific award appears to be a new task order issued under the Global Husbanding Support Services IDIQ to provide on-site fender repair services in Norway.
