General Ship Repair IDIQ in CA, WA, and HI 2015-2020

The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command established this Master IDIQ for general ship repair services covering California, Washington, and Hawaii, with the last date to place orders being January 30, 2021—which has now passed 5 years and 5 months ago, closing pursuit of new work under this vehicle.

The vehicle operated from January 15, 2015 through its final ordering period, executing 145 task orders worth a combined potential value of $41.2 million, with all value obligated. Ordering activity declined over its life: 39 task orders in 2015 dropped to 25 annually by 2017–2019, with the final order awarded December 31, 2019. The vehicle is no longer active.

Work contracted spans voyage repairs, maintenance and availability services, inactivation projects, and specialized repairs including pipefitting, welding, machining, electrical work, boiler repair, diesel engine overhaul, compressor and pump service, painting, and tank-related work such as rafting and thickness gauging. Task orders ranged from small component repairs under $12 thousand to major voyage repairs exceeding $2 million—the largest being a $2.87 million USNS Mercy voyage repair and a $2.19 million USNS Mercy voyage repair. Typical durations were 60–120 days.

Competition centered on two firms that captured 62 percent of awarded orders by count: Propulsion Controls Engineering and Bay City Marine, Inc., each with 41 orders. Propulsion Controls Engineering led by potential value at $13.9 million combined, followed by Bay City Marine at $9 million. Integrated Marine Services, Inc. and Epsilon Systems Solutions, Inc. each held 10 orders. Thirteen primes were awarded across the vehicle's life.

Customer concentration was extreme: Military Sealift Command placed 143 orders worth $40.5 million (98 percent of vehicle volume), with the Navy placing only 2 supplemental orders worth $730 thousand. Set-aside distribution favored small business: 63 percent of orders designated as small-business set-asides, primarily sole-source 8(a) awards; the remaining 37 percent were unrestricted. Work performed across the three named regions—California, Washington, and Hawaii—supporting sealift operations at West Coast and Pacific locations.
