Ocean Engineering Services 2018-2023

The Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center has established the Ocean Engineering Services 2018-2023 Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to provide specialized maritime and ocean engineering services. This multiple-award contract supports a wide range of ocean-related engineering requirements, with a shared ceiling of $245 million. The vehicle covers comprehensive ocean engineering services including ocean cable systems, shipboard load handling systems, waterfront facilities, offshore structures, moorings, and ocean construction equipment. The contract is designed to support projects in environments ranging from arctic to tropical regions, addressing complex maritime infrastructure and technical support needs.

The task orders under this IDIQ consistently demonstrate a focus on naval facilities, undersea systems, and maritime infrastructure support. Prime contractors like GPA Technologies, Oceanetics (Truston Technologies), PCCI Hyperbaric Systems, and Makai Ocean Engineering have been frequent awardees, with task order values typically ranging from approximately $100,000 to $24 million. The Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, and Naval Installations Command are the primary funding agencies. Most delivery orders are firm fixed price or cost-plus-fixed-fee, with performance locations predominantly at naval facilities in California (such as Port Hueneme), Hawaii, Japan, and other Pacific region sites. While many orders are open competition, some task orders have been set aside for small businesses, particularly veteran-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, and woman-owned small businesses. The technical scopes frequently involve handling system support, mooring maintenance, underwater measurement systems, cable installation, and specialized maritime engineering services.
