Electrical Power and Generation Systems Support

Naval Sea Systems Command awarded this Master IDIQ on September 22, 2018, for in-service engineering support of electrical power and generation systems on surface ships, submarines, and assault craft; the vehicle's ordering period closed on September 20, 2023, and no new task orders may be placed against it.

This vehicle is no longer active. The last task order was issued on September 28, 2022, nearly four years ago. Ordering activity declined sharply in the final years—after averaging 8 orders per year from 2018 through 2021, the vehicle received only 3 orders in 2022 before the ordering window closed. All 36 task orders issued under the vehicle have been fully obligated or are in execution with no further competition expected.

The vehicle contracted exclusively with Naval Sea Systems Command (100 percent of task orders) for engineering and technical support across a portfolio of ship classes: DDG 51 destroyers, LHD/LSD/LPD amphibious vessels, MCM and PC mine countermeasure and coastal ships, LCAC landing craft, USCGC Polar Star icebreaker, and submarine propulsion systems. Task orders funded specific electrical system upgrades (degaussing systems, FADC and digital voltage regulator replacements, propulsion power distribution system overhauls, well-deck lighting controls, and connector replacements) as well as ongoing laboratory support and code-branch engineering services at Naval Surface Warfare Center Philadelphia Division. All task orders were unrestricted competitive procurements using cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing.

Amee Bay, LLC and Gibbs & Cox, Inc. dominated the vehicle, capturing 47 percent of combined task-order potential value between them. Amee Bay received 10 orders worth $15.7 million combined potential value; Gibbs & Cox received 7 orders worth $13.7 million. Noblis MSD LLC, Life Cycle Engineering Inc., and HII Mission Technologies Corp split most of the remainder. Nine distinct primes shared the work overall, with the top five firms holding 89 percent of combined potential value.

Task-order values ranged from $47,128 to $3.2 million in ceiling value, with typical ceiling values in the $1.6 million to $2.7 million range. The vehicle's combined shared ceiling was $292.4 million; 36 task orders obligated $31.6 million (69 percent of combined potential value), leaving significant unobligated capacity that will not be accessed due to the closed ordering window.

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD) Philadelphia, PA site has awarded a Master IDIQ for ongoing long-term support for In-Service Engineering (ISE) roles and responsibilities for electrical power and generation systems installed on surface ships, submarines, and assault craft with the Steam/Diesel/Electrical Power Systems Branch.
