About this vehicle
The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command established a multiple-award Master IDIQ on June 16, 2021, to procure experimental hull treatment materials for Virginia Class submarines, with ordering closing on June 15, 2026—the vehicle is no longer active.
The vehicle carried a $72 million shared ceiling and was structured as firm-fixed price, unrestricted, with NAICS code 326150 (urethane and foam product manufacturing). The originating sources sought notice, posted in November 2019, anticipated recurring demand for one to two submarines per year across the contract lifetime, with award on best-value basis considering technical capability, past performance, and price.
Actual activity diverged sharply from anticipated volume. The vehicle generated only three delivery orders, all awarded on the same date (June 16, 2021) to Westland Technologies Inc., Goodrich Corporation, and Globe Composite Solutions LLC in equal measure—one order each. Combined potential value across all three orders totaled $3 thousand, with all $3 thousand obligated at award. No task orders were issued after June 2021, indicating the vehicle saw no meaningful sustained demand despite the five-year ordering window. All orders were unrestricted and firm-fixed price, with completion dates in mid-2021 and early 2024.
The sole customer was Naval Sea Systems Command, which placed all three orders. The vehicle's extraordinarily narrow utilization—three $1 thousand orders placed immediately at award—suggests the vehicle either served a one-time pilot or proof-of-concept need rather than the recurring annual material supply the sources sought had described. The massive gap between the $72 million ceiling and $3 thousand obligated value indicates the Navy did not execute a full production program under this vehicle. Prospective bidders evaluating successor vehicles or related submarine-material procurements should note that this vehicle's minimal activity does not reflect the anticipated demand profile from the original acquisition strategy.
