About this program
The MK 48 Torpedo program is a Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) managed by the Department of Defense under the Major Capability Acquisition pathway. While specific technical details are not provided in the source material, the program involves the development, procurement, and maintenance of the MK 48 torpedo system, which is a key naval weapon system. The program operates under a standardized acquisition framework designed for major defense capabilities.
The contract awards associated with this program range from small purchase orders for components like bearings and metal finishing to larger delivery orders for comprehensive maintenance services. Notable contracts include torpedo maintenance services at Pearl Harbor ($52.9M) and Yorktown Intermediate Maintenance Activity (IMA) services ($15M), both executed under the SeaPort-e IDIQ contract vehicle with cost-plus-incentive fee structures. Contract periods typically span 3-6 years, with award values ranging from $84,000 to $56.9M. The Naval Undersea Warfare Center serves as a key contracting activity, with work performed at naval facilities in Pearl Harbor and Yorktown. While some smaller components are procured through total small business set-asides, the larger maintenance service contracts do not utilize set-aside designations. MANTEC Services Inc. appears as a contractor in the historical data, though the limited sample size prevents identification of primary contractors.
