This federal contract IDV award from the Department of the Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) to Serco Inc., a foreign-owned for-profit organization, is primarily focused on providing support services for the Navy's Close-In Weapon System (CIWS). Serco has been awarded multiple delivery orders under this Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) valued at up to $245.9 million, with individual task orders ranging from $48,984.85 to $595,564.62. The work is performed in Herndon, Virginia and includes a variety of CIWS maintenance, engineering, and logistics support services under cost-plus-fixed-fee and firm-fixed-price pricing structures. The contract does not utilize any set-aside designations.
The original solicitation, RFQ N0017421R0012, was a small business set-aside seeking the procurement of 900 firing pins for the CIWS system, to be delivered to the Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Division. This indicates the IDC awarded to Serco is part of the broader effort by NAVSEA to sustain and support the Navy's Close-In Weapon System capabilities across its surface fleet. As the agency responsible for shipbuilding and fleet management, NAVSEA's oversight of this critical ship defense system aligns with its role in ensuring maritime superiority for the U.S. Navy.
