Ocean Engineering Services 2009-2015

Naval Facilities Engineering Command established this Master IDIQ on May 27, 2009, with a shared ceiling of $250 million and final ordering authority through September 30, 2014—making this vehicle closed to new task orders as of 11 years 9 months ago. The vehicle contracted ocean engineering services covering delivery, assembly, installation, and system testing of mooring systems, electrical and subsea cable components, and cable stabilization infrastructure, with work performed at Navy installations including Marine Corps Base Hawaii, Pearl Harbor, Naval Station Norfolk, and other domestic and overseas naval facilities.

The vehicle is fully obligated: 200 task orders totaling $144.8 million in combined potential value have consumed $144.2 million (100% obligated). Ordering momentum peaked in 2012 at 49 orders and declined in 2013–2014 (32 and 27 orders respectively) as the vehicle neared its closing date. Sound & Sea Technology, Inc. dominated the prime contractor base, holding 85 orders valued at $70 million combined potential—roughly 48% of all task-order value. Oceanetics Inc., Pcci, Inc., Oasis Systems, LLC, and GPA Technologies, Inc. collectively held the remaining 51%, with activity distributed across six primes overall.

Naval Facilities Engineering Command funded 174 of 200 orders ($109.4 million combined potential value, 76% of portfolio), with Naval Sea Systems Command ($17 million), Defense Logistics Agency Energy ($10.5 million), and smaller orders from Air Force Space Command and Navy Installations Command accounting for the remainder. About 81% of orders were small-business set-asides; the remaining 19% competed unrestricted. Task orders used Cost Plus Fixed Fee pricing across the board, with most orders ranging from under $100,000 to several million dollars. Notable high-value orders included Tengan Petroleum Handling Facility Fueling Buoy Maintenance ($8.6 million), Wave Energy Test Site Engineering Services Support ($9.2 million), and several subsea cable and facility design efforts in the $2–3 million band. Performance extended into 2016 and 2017 across multiple task orders awarded in 2014.

This scope of this Master IDIQ covers the delivery, assembly, installation, and system testing of a mooring system, terrestrial electrical, subsea cable system components, and cable stabilization system for the Wave Energy Test Site (WETS) at Marine Corps Base Hawaii (MCBH) for testing and demonstrating wave energy converter technologies suitable for Navy installations.
