Contract values span from approximately $200,000 to $3 million, with performance periods typically extending 8-40 months. Notable contractors include General Manufacturing LLC, a small business manufacturer in Illinois, Wartsila Defense Inc. in Virginia, and Brandywine Communications in California. The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) serves as the primary contracting authority for these acquisitions.
