This Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) was awarded by the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), a component of the U.S. Department of Defense, to American Superconductor Corp (Amsc), a for-profit manufacturer of electrical equipment and advanced technology products. The $14,940,659.74 IDC, awarded in January 2021, is for Amsc to provide material, engineering, and technical services in support of high temperature superconducting (HTS) degaussing systems for naval vessels, particularly the LPD Class ships. Under this IDC, Amsc has received two notable task orders. The first is a $10,497,232.37 firm-fixed-price order for providing materials, engineering, and technical services for HTS degaussing systems through August 2025. The second is a $836,464.97 cost-plus-fixed-fee order for continued engineering and technical support services through January 2025. These HTS degaussing systems are used to reduce the magnetic signatures of Navy ships and protect against naval mines, demonstrating the Navy's ongoing commitment to implementing superconducting technology in naval applications. The IDC allows NAVSEA to efficiently procure Amsc's specialized products and services for these advanced degaussing initiatives.
