About this program
The Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) is a Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) operating under the Major Capability Acquisition pathway. This Department of Defense program focuses on air-cushioned landing craft vessels, which are specialized military watercraft. Based on the contract activities, the program appears to include both new acquisitions and maintenance of existing craft through Service Life Extension Programs (SLEP).
The federal contract awards associated with this program primarily focus on ETF40B engine system assemblies and SLEP availabilities for specific LCAC vessels. Contract values range from $160,413 for smaller equipment purchases to over $52 million for major engine system assemblies, with typical contract durations spanning 1-4 years. All contracts reviewed utilized Firm Fixed Price pricing and were executed without set-aside designations. The majority of contracts were structured as Definitive Contracts, with occasional use of Delivery Orders and Purchase Orders. Notable acquisitions included twenty-four ETF40B gas turbine engines for the FY07 SLEP program and multiple SLEP availabilities for specifically numbered craft (LCAC 41, 46, 53, 67, 70, and 71). The primary contracting activity appears to be through Naval Sea Systems Command, as indicated by the "N00024" prefix on many contract numbers.
