The Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for 40 Foot Patrol Boats is a comprehensive procurement vehicle for the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), focused on acquiring patrol boats for the Naval Expeditionary Combat Command. Originally emerging from a solicitation related to submarine imaging systems, the contract now supports the production of 40-foot patrol boats with specific design requirements. The contract has a shared ceiling of $290,000,000 and is set to remain active until May 16, 2031, providing a long-term acquisition mechanism for naval maritime assets.
Recent task orders under this IDIQ have been awarded to two primary contractors: Gravois Aluminum Boats LLC (operating as Metal Shark Boats) and Reconcraft, LLC. These delivery orders typically range from approximately $6.8 million to $18.2 million, with performance periods spanning from 2025 to 2027. The task orders are consistently structured as firm-fixed-price contracts and are not designated with any specific small business set-aside. Contractors are producing 40-foot Patrol Boat (40PB) Flight 2 variants, including both standard and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) configurations. Performance locations appear to be distributed across locations like Jeanerette, Louisiana, and Clackamas, Oregon, with the Naval Sea Systems Command serving as the primary funding and oversight agency.
