Brodogradiliste Viktor Lenac D.D.

Brodogradiliste Viktor Lenac D.D., a Croatian international shipbuilding and repair organization based in Rijeka, operates as a prime contractor exclusively in military sealift and naval ship maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) on a full-and-open, non-set-aside basis. The vendor has not participated in federal contract IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs as a named vehicle contractor; instead, it receives individual purchase orders and definitive contracts issued directly by Navy commands. Over the past five years, Brodogradiliste Viktor Lenac D.D. has secured 36 prime awards totaling $304.8 million in combined potential value, with $265.6 million obligated (87% of potential), representing sustained demand for Expeditionary Fast Transport and auxiliary vessel maintenance capacity.

Customer concentration is absolute: the Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command funds 89 of 100 total awards (99% coverage, $303.1 million combined potential value), with subsidiary volume from Naval Sea Systems Command (7 awards, $1.2 million), Naval Supply Systems Command (1 award, $426 thousand), and United States Naval Forces Europe Naval Forces Africa (1 award, $4 thousand). The top customer by count and potential value are identical; no tension exists between volume and dollar concentration. Primary NAICS framing is 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing) across 96 awards, with PSC concentration in Non-Nuclear Ship Repair (East) covering 93 of 100 awards.

Representative named work includes a $49.1 million definitive contract for force generation risk reduction and regular overhaul of USS Lewis B Puller (T-ESB 3) awarded April 23, 2025 with performance through September 30, 2026 at the awardee's facility in Malta; a $6.9 million definitive contract for regular overhaul of USNS Trenton (EPF-5) awarded April 1, 2024; a $6.1 million firm fixed-price contract for USNS Yuma (T-EPF 8) regular overhaul awarded December 16, 2021; and a $5.6 million mid-term availability contract for USS Hershel "Woody" Williams (T-ESB 4) awarded December 31, 2021. Smaller purchase orders include a $213,955 firm fixed-price contract for USS Arleigh Burke (DDG 51) maintenance awarded August 6, 2025, and a $173,395 mid-deployment voyage repair order for Naval Sea Systems Command awarded August 20, 2024. Work is performed primarily in Croatia (Rijeka shipyard) with secondary performance locations in Malta, Spain, Italy, and Gaeta as vessel transits require.

Activity trajectory shows concentrated award volume in 2023–2024 (12 and 11 awards respectively), a sharp decline to 2 awards in 2025, and only 1 award in 2026 through April. This steep drop signals either a gap in procurement cycle, a shift to multi-year contract vehicles, or a recompete window. One award valued at $56.5 million (the USS Lewis B Puller definitive contract) reaches ultimate completion by September 30, 2026, creating a material recompete cliff inside the next twenty-four months. The vendor operates under a single parent vehicle — Indefinite Delivery Contract N6817111D0016 — carrying 13 task orders totaling $12.9 million in combined potential value, suggesting MSC relies on direct solicitation and individual purchase orders rather than task-order vehicles for most volume.

Brodogradiliste Viktor Lenac D.D. operates as a sole prime with no identified federal contract subcontractors in the source record (0% sub awards). Subcontract engagement is not a characteristic of this vendor's federal footprint; it functions as a captive international shipyard capacity provider for Navy sealift operations. The vendor has maintained SAM registration since 2010 and competes in the open federal marketplace without small business set-aside designations. Its customer concentration and role as a non-U.S. repair facility for Navy auxiliary and fast-transport vessels reflect MSC's reliance on international shipyard capacity to manage fleet maintenance load and achieve geographically dispersed repair staging.
