Navy Vessels Insulation and Lagging 2014-2019

Naval Sea Systems Command established this Master IDIQ for insulation and lagging services on U.S. Navy vessels, including submarines, on April 1, 2014; ordering closed March 31, 2019, and the vehicle is no longer active. The work encompasses preliminary inspection, asbestos removal, installation and removal of galley equipment steam and hot water pipe insulation, weather deck hot piping, refrigerant insulation, air conditioning and refrigeration plant equipment insulation, bulkhead and overhead thermal insulation, and scaffolding.

The vehicle is fully exhausted: all $1.4 million in combined potential value has been obligated across 37 task orders, with the final order placed March 29, 2019. Activity peaked in 2015 with 13 orders; subsequent years averaged five to six orders annually before declining to two orders in 2019. The vehicle served a single customer—Naval Sea Systems Command—exclusively.

Competition under the vehicle was heavily concentrated. Coastal Marine Services, Inc. held 70 percent of task orders (26 orders, $1.1 million potential value), while Thermcor Inc. captured the remaining 30 percent (11 orders, $291 thousand potential value). Set-aside activity favored small business: 29 orders (78 percent) carried small-business designations, with 8 orders (22 percent) awarded unrestricted. Task orders were uniformly firm fixed price.

Individual order values ranged from $78 to approximately $123 thousand, with typical orders in the $15 thousand to $90 thousand band. Work was episodic across multiple vessels—USS Kearsarge, USS San Jacinto, USS Monterey, USS Barry, USS Wasp, and USS Anzio received repeated orders—suggesting recurring maintenance cycles rather than one-time vessel overhauls. No successor vehicle is evident in the source material.
