Navy Vessels HM&E Repairs 2013-2018

Naval Sea Systems Command established a Master IDIQ on November 5, 2013, to procure hull, mechanical, and electrical repairs, alterations, troubleshooting, maintenance, installation, and removal of equipment and systems aboard U.S. Navy and military vessels, including submarines. The vehicle's ordering period closed on November 4, 2018, and is no longer active.

The vehicle issued 46 task orders between April 2014 and August 2019, with all $25.5 million in combined potential value obligated. Ordering activity peaked in 2015 with 12 orders, declined to 3 in 2016, then rebounded to 10 in 2017 before tapering to 5 in 2018 and 8 in 2019 (the last orders placed after the November 2018 cutoff under previously authorized authority). Task orders ranged from under $20 thousand to approximately $5.7 million, with typical values between $100 thousand and $500 thousand. Representative work included hull, mechanical, and electrical repairs to LCACs, submarines (SSNs and SSBNs), amphibious transport docks, and expeditionary support vessels including USS Helena, USS Montpelier, USS Newport News, USNS Prevail, USNS Hugo, and USNS Narragansett.

Competition concentrated among five prime contractors. East Coast Repair & Fabrication held the largest share by potential value at $10.7 million across 7 orders, followed by Epsilon Systems Solutions Inc. with $6.2 million across 14 orders and Tecnico Corporation with $5.3 million across 9 orders. QED Systems and La Playa Inc of Virginia completed the awardee base.

Naval Sea Systems Command funded 45 of 46 orders ($24.9 million), with one order ($509 thousand) placed by Navy Expeditionary Combat Command. Approximately 57 percent of orders carried a small-business set-aside designation, with the remainder unrestricted. Most repair work was performed at or affiliated with Navy shipyards and maintenance facilities in Norfolk, Newport News, Portsmouth, and other naval installations, though the vehicle scope included vessels at multiple operational locations.
