Ocean Engineering Support Services

The Ocean Engineering Support Services Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is a multiple-award vehicle established by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) to provide comprehensive ocean engineering and maritime infrastructure support services. The contract, valued at $180 million with a five-year base period and optional six-month extension, focuses on specialized engineering services related to ocean cable systems, waterfront facilities, offshore structures, moorings, and ocean construction equipment. Contractors must demonstrate expertise in areas such as load handling engineering, offshore structure installation, geotechnical surveys, and environmental permitting for ocean projects, with a specific emphasis on small business participation.

Task orders under this IDIQ typically range from $58,000 to $2.04 million and cover a diverse set of maritime engineering activities. Frequent prime contractors include Oceanetics Inc. (Truston Technologies), Marine Ventures International, PCCI Inc., and Makai Ocean Engineering Inc., with most task orders supporting Naval commands such as Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Supply Systems Command, and Naval Facilities Engineering Command. The majority of task orders are either not set aside or designated as Total Small Business, with performance locations primarily at naval facilities in California, such as Naval Construction Battalion Center Port Hueneme, and occasionally at international sites like Okinawa, Japan, and Souda Bay, Greece. Common project scopes include mooring system maintenance, underwater measurement system upgrades, passive water barrier refurbishment, and logistics support for naval maritime infrastructure.
