Production Support Touch Labor MAC IDIQ

Naval Sea Systems Command at Norfolk Naval Shipyard established a 100% small-business set-aside Master IDIQ on March 9, 2026, to procure production support touch labor services through March 8, 2031, with a shared ceiling of $114.0 million. Ordering authority remains open for approximately four and a half years. The vehicle is structured as a multiple-award competitive IDIQ under FAR Part 12 commercial procedures and FAR Subpart 19.5 small business total set-aside, with competition for individual task orders among awardees.

The vehicle procures qualified personnel across maritime trades including Marine Electrician, Marine Insulator, Marine Pipefitter, Outside Marine Machinist, Painter, Rigger/Weight Handler, Shipfitter, Shipwright, Welder, Forklift Operator, and Marine Sheet Metal workers. Services support non-nuclear production activities within NNSY's Production Workforce Division under a Firm Fixed Price Level of Effort contract structure. The NAICS code is 336611 (Shipbuilding and Repair) with a size standard of 1,250 employees; the PSC is J998.

Place of performance is Norfolk Naval Shipyard, Norfolk, Virginia. The vehicle uses FAR Part 12 and Part 15 contracting procedures with FAR Subpart 16.5 indefinite-delivery ordering conventions. Contract duration consists of a five-year base ordering period with an optional six-month extension under FAR clause 52.217-8. All offerors must register in SAM and self-certify they are not suspended, debarred, or ineligible.

The vehicle was recently established; task-order portfolio data was not available in the source. As a new small-business-exclusive vehicle with a $114.0 million ceiling, competition will consist of small businesses meeting the 1,250-employee threshold in shipbuilding and repair. Contracting Officers Dushani Starks and Jeremy Weible oversee the procurement.
