Huntington Ingalls Incorporated

Huntington Ingalls Incorporated Ingalls Shipbuilding Division, a division of Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc., designs, constructs, and provides post-delivery engineering and sustainment support for U.S. Navy combat vessels as a prime contractor on a full-and-open (non-set-aside) basis, with combined prime and sub footprint potential value exceeding $79 billion across 327 federal awards.

The division operates as a for-profit manufacturer based in Pascagoula, Mississippi, focused exclusively on naval shipbuilding and repair under NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing) and PSC 1905 (Combat Ships and Landing Vessels). Ingalls Shipbuilding anchors the Navy's amphibious and destroyer production capacity and serves as the sole builder for San Antonio-class amphibious transport docks (LPD 17), Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers (DDG 51), America-class amphibious assault ships (LHA 6), and Zumwalt-class destroyers (DDG 1000). Recent representative work includes a $5.798 billion fixed-price-incentive contract awarded September 20, 2024, for long lead time material and detailed design and construction of LPD 33, 34, and 35; a $15.814 billion fixed-price-incentive contract awarded August 1, 2023, for construction of up to ten DDG 51 Flight III destroyers across fiscal years 2023–2027; a $3.866 billion cost-plus-fixed-fee contract awarded November 17, 2023, for LHA 10 advance procurement and design and construction; and a $212.9 million definitive contract modification awarded April 30, 2025, for ship availability product work across multiple LPD-17, LHA, and LSD-class vessels.

Customer concentration is absolute: the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command funds 275 awards (94% of combined potential value, $74.68 billion), with the U.S. Coast Guard placing 15 awards ($4.32 billion) and the Navy Office of Naval Research placing 29 smaller awards ($8.2 million). Ingalls competes full-and-open; no set-aside designations apply across the portfolio.

The division holds positions on multiple Naval Sea Systems Command Basic Ordering Agreements enabling rapid task order issuance for destroyer and amphibious support across the DDG 51 program and related ship classes. BOA N0002416G4305 carries 33 task orders totaling $51.9 million combined potential value; BOA N0002413G2404 carries 9 task orders worth $43.8 million; and BOA N0002416G2303 carries 9 task orders worth $52.4 million in combined potential value. Indefinite Delivery Contracts N0001419D7001 and N0001422D7004 support research and engineering activities.

Recent activity shows highly concentrated performance: 131 awards in 2024 alone, driven by major multi-billion-dollar construction contract modifications and awards. Eight awards totaling $8.62 billion in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure in fiscal years 2026–2027 primarily in destroyer and amphibious vessel support categories. The division manages extensive subcontractor networks across vessel systems integration. Named sub-tier partners on major construction efforts include GE Aviation and Rolls-Royce Marine North America (propulsion systems), Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (navigation and maritime systems), General Dynamics Mission Systems (C4ISR and fire control), L3Harris Maritime Power & Energy Solutions (power generation), and Lockheed Martin Corporation (radar and naval combat systems). Manufacturing technology development work flows through Advanced Technology International as prime, with Ingalls participating in Navy ManTech Center for Innovative Naval Shipbuilding and Advanced Manufacturing projects addressing autonomous abrasive collection, warehouse efficiency, improved cable installation, and high-strength steel welding. Service Contract Inventory reporting shows negligible SCI-reportable activity ($0 invoiced FY2022–2024), reflecting the capital-equipment and construction nature of the work rather than labor-intensive service delivery; SCI coverage indicates fewer than one FTE delivered on SCI-reportable prime contracts across the three-year period, a signal that Ingalls' federal footprint is dominated by shipbuilding production contracts rather than service arrangements.
