About this IDV

Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) awarded BAE Systems Land & Armaments L.P. a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $77.9 million on January 18, 2023, for the manufacture and delivery of bearing support structure (BSS) components and related services in support of the Columbia-class submarine program. The contract extends through January 17, 2027, and operates without small business set-aside designations, reflecting BAE Systems' status as an established large defense contractor. Performance occurs at multiple BAE Systems facilities, including Louisville, Kentucky and St. Anthony, Minnesota. The original pre-solicitation notice, posted by NAVSEA on September 23, 2021, sought market research and industry feedback regarding the manufacturing and delivery of five Columbia-class submarine bearing support structures over a projected 30-month production cycle per unit, requesting input on welding methods, material sourcing strategies, pricing mechanisms including incentive structures, and production timelines to inform the Navy's acquisition planning for this critical submarine component.

Three delivery orders totaling approximately $40.3 million have been issued under this Indefinite Delivery Contract to date. The initial delivery order, awarded January 18, 2023, valued at $16.5 million, addresses bearing support structure finishing modification work with performance completion by August 4, 2026, in Louisville, Kentucky. A second delivery order, awarded February 2, 2024, for $11.6 million, covers Columbia-class bearing support structure assembly materials with completion by October 3, 2026, performed in St. Anthony, Minnesota. The third delivery order, awarded March 11, 2025, valued at $12.2 million, procures Year 3 Columbia-class bearing support structure assembly materials, with completion scheduled for September 30, 2028, also in St. Anthony, Minnesota. All delivery orders employ fixed-price contracts with economic price adjustment provisions. BAE Systems engages a specialized subcontractor network including Troy Tube & Manufacturing Company (veteran-owned small business), Scot Forge Company, Fedtech Inc., American Tank & Fabricating Company, and Futuramic Tool & Engineering Company to provide precision metal fabrication, forging, tube assembly, waterjet and laser cutting, and advanced machining services supporting Columbia-class submarine structural and operational integrity requirements.
