Scaffolding Services Onboard Navy Ships

The Scaffolding Services Onboard Navy Ships Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is a multiple-award contract vehicle established by the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) to provide comprehensive scaffolding services for U.S. Navy ships and vessels. The contract primarily covers commercial industrial scaffolding solutions, including installation, inspection, modification, certification, and dismantling of scaffolding systems within a 50-mile radius of San Diego, California. Originally solicited as a total small business set-aside, the contract enables NAVSEA to rapidly procure scaffolding support for maintenance, repair, and modernization efforts across various naval vessel types.

The contract has been predominantly utilized for delivery orders supporting scaffolding needs on multiple naval vessel classes, including guided missile destroyers, amphibious assault ships, littoral combat ships, and cruisers. Task orders typically range from $4,000 to $72,000, with performance periods spanning one to three months. Two primary prime contractors have been consistently awarded delivery orders: Premier Scaffold, Inc. (a woman-owned small business) and W.V. Construction Company (a veteran-owned small business). While the original solicitation indicated a total small business set-aside, the subsequent delivery orders have not utilized specific set-aside designations. The vast majority of work is performed in San Diego, California, supporting naval vessels homeported or temporarily stationed in the area, with the Naval Sea Systems Command serving as the primary funding agency.
