Indefinite Delivery Contract N0002425D4339

The Naval Sea Systems Command awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract to Mikel Inc., a woman-owned small business, valued at $1.906 billion with an ultimate completion date of September 1, 2033. This contract, designated as OPW – Lot 2 Non-Critical Systems Engineering, supports the Navy's submarine maintenance, repair, and modernization initiatives conducted through Chief of Naval Operations availabilities at the four public naval shipyards. The contract was issued without small business set-asides and originated from a pre-solicitation market research notice posted in July 2024, which sought industry capability and interest in performing discrete and non-discrete production work to support nuclear-powered attack submarine sustainment. The contract structure encompasses a tiered approach, with Lot 2 addressing non-critical systems work, complementing Lot 1 Critical Systems Engineering efforts. The contract includes rolling admission provisions to add additional contractors periodically throughout the five-year base period with three option years.

Mikel Inc. will perform engineering, technical research, and development services at its headquarters in Middletown, Rhode Island, leveraging its established expertise in undersea defense technologies and naval systems support. The contractor's relevant qualifications include demonstrated experience developing software algorithms for advanced torpedo systems, producing and refurbishing Submerged Acoustic Navigation System beacons, and providing engineering support for submarine non-propulsion electronic systems. A firm fixed-price delivery order issued under this contract on September 11, 2025, valued at $5,000, was awarded for work under OPW – Lot 1 Critical Systems Engineering with completion targeted for October 15, 2025, demonstrating the operational activation of the contract vehicle to address immediate submarine engineering requirements.
