NAVSEA Machining and Fabrication IDIQ

The NAVSEA Machining and Fabrication Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract supports the Naval Sea Systems Command's requirements for advanced machining and fabrication services. The contract enables the procurement of complex metal components and fabricated structures primarily for naval ship and submarine construction programs. Specific manufacturing capabilities include milling, lathing, grinding, surface preparation, welding, and material inspection for components weighing up to 100,000 pounds and measuring up to 40 feet long, with the ability to handle items requiring precise machining operations on surfaces up to 96 inches square.

Task orders under this IDIQ consistently demonstrate a focus on specialized naval component production, with Chesapeake Machining & Fabrication, Inc. emerging as a frequent prime contractor. Delivery orders range in value from $2,500 to over $6.3 million, typically with performance periods spanning several months to a few years. The majority of task orders are for specific submarine and naval system components such as launch tube assemblies, rounding ring assemblies, davit kits, and ballast transport fixtures. While most task orders have been set aside for small businesses, some have been awarded without specific set-aside restrictions. The primary place of performance has been in manufacturing locations across Maryland, with some work also performed in Pennsylvania and Virginia. The Department of the Navy Strategic Systems Programs and Naval Sea Systems Command are the primary funding agencies for these contracts.
