Army Watercraft Sustainment Maintenance - Zone 3 (AWSM)

The Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal established the Army Watercraft Sustainment Maintenance - Zone 3 Master IDIQ on January 27, 2021, with a shared ceiling of $186 million, but ordering closed on January 25, 2026, making this vehicle no longer available for new task orders. The vehicle supported scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, repairs, certifications, and inspections on Army watercraft including Landing Craft Utility (LCU), Landing Craft Mechanized (LCM), Logistics Support Vessel (LSV), and Small Tug classes at vessel home stations and duty locations, principally in Northeast and Southeast Asia and the Central Pacific region.

Over its five-year life, the vehicle issued 48 task orders totaling $19.1 million in combined potential value, with all $19.1 million obligated. Order volume peaked at award in 2021 with 16 orders, then declined steadily to 7 orders in 2025, averaging fewer than 10 orders annually over the final three years. The largest single award was a December 2025 delivery order to HII Fleet Support Group LLC for Logistics Support Vessel 3, LSV-4, and LCU-2033 sustainment valued at approximately $5.97 million.

Five shipyards dominated the award portfolio. Yokohama Engineering Works, LTD. held the largest combined potential value at $6.8 million across 3 orders, followed by HII Fleet Support Group LLC with 11 orders worth $5.6 million, and Metal Trades, LLC with 16 orders totaling $4.8 million. Colonna's Ship Yard, Incorporated and Lyon Shipyard Inc. rounded out the top five. These five firms captured 98 percent of combined potential value and 79 percent of orders, with a longer tail of nine smaller firms.

Army internal customers accounted for virtually all ordering activity. The Department of the Army Materiel Command TACOM Life Cycle Management Command placed 32 orders worth $12.8 million, or roughly 67 percent of the vehicle's portfolio. The Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Combat Support and Combat Service Support issued 15 orders totaling $6 million. All 48 task orders carried firm fixed-price contracts with no set-asides. Task order values ranged from nominal $1,000 start-of-work orders in early 2021 to the six-million-dollar LSV sustainment delivery orders, with typical programmed repairs in the $100,000–$300,000 band and larger emergency or dry-dock work in the $500,000–$1.6 million range.
