The Marine Design and Engineering Services 2011-2016 Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is a comprehensive vehicle for providing marine design and engineering services primarily to the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), with a specific focus on supporting the Puget Sound and Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyards & Intermediate Maintenance Facilities. The contract encompasses a wide range of marine engineering capabilities, including naval architecture, computer-aided drafting (CAD), ship integration and design (SID) preparation, and technical support services for naval vessels and maritime infrastructure. Task orders under this contract involve detailed engineering work across various aspects of marine design, supporting the maintenance, modification, and documentation needs of U.S. Navy surface ships and submarines.
The majority of task orders are cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery orders with values typically ranging from $10,000 to $500,000 and performance periods spanning 3-12 months. Two primary prime contractors dominate the task order awards: HII Fleet Support Group LLC (a Huntington Ingalls Industries subsidiary) and Gryphon Marine, LLC. These contractors frequently provide services such as two-dimensional CAD drawing preparation, naval architectural services, ship integration design document preparation, and technical support for specific naval vessel classes including aircraft carriers, surface ships, and submarines. The work is predominantly performed at naval facilities in Bremerton, Washington, with task orders consistently not utilizing small business set-asides. The contract demonstrates a structured approach to providing specialized marine engineering support, enabling NAVSEA to efficiently acquire targeted technical services through a pre-competed multiple-award contract vehicle.
