WASHINGTON, August 19, 2026 — The U.S. Navy has awarded a combined $112,833,317 cost-plus-fixed-fee, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract to eight companies for hull, mechanical and electrical machinery and systems services. The work will support the Navy’s surface fleet, submarines, shore-based installations, other federal agency vessels, select maritime agency vessels and land-based sites. The eight awardees are Amee Bay LLC of Anchorage, Alaska; Atlantic Fabrication & Boiler Services Inc. of Portsmouth, Virginia; AVMAC LLC of Chesapeake, Virginia; Continental Tide Defense Systems Inc. of Wyomissing, Pennsylvania; Delphinus Engineering Inc. of Newtown Square, Pennsylvania; Epsilon Systems Solutions Inc. of Portsmouth, Virginia; La Playa Inc. of Virginia of Chesapeake, Virginia; and Q.E.D. Systems Inc. of Virginia Beach, Virginia. The contracts have a cumulative ceiling of $112,833,317 over a five-year ordering period, with each awardee receiving a $500 minimum contract guarantee at award. Work will be performed in the continental United States and overseas at various locations, including private shipyards, public Naval shipyards, military establishments and contractor facilities, with completion expected by July 2031. The Naval Surface Warfare Center Philadelphia Division in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is the contracting activity.

Fleet and Shore Installation Services

The contract provides for services involving hull, mechanical and electrical machinery and systems across Navy vessels and installations. The scope extends beyond the surface fleet and submarines to shore-based installations, other federal agency vessels, select maritime agency vessels and land-based sites. Work locations may include both U.S. and overseas facilities, giving the Navy access to the eight contractors across a range of shipyards, military sites and contractor facilities. The contract was competitively procured through full and open competition using the System for Award Management website, with eight offers received.

The five-year ordering period gives the Navy access to the awardees through July 2031 as individual requirements arise. The contract is structured as an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity vehicle, with the overall value capped at $112.83 million rather than committing that amount to the eight companies at the time of award. Individual requirements will be placed through task orders, allowing the Navy to procure the specific services needed during the ordering period.

Initial Funding and Task Orders

The Navy will obligate $4,000 in fiscal 2026 other procurement funding at the time of award. That funding will expire at the end of the current fiscal year. The initial obligation is limited because the contract establishes a framework for future orders rather than providing the full $112.83 million upfront. Additional funding will be made available at the task-order level as contracting actions occur.

The structure allows individual work requirements to be ordered from the eight awardees during the five-year period. Each company receives a $500 minimum contract guarantee, while the cumulative value of all orders under the eight contracts cannot exceed $112,833,317. The Naval Surface Warfare Center Philadelphia Division is responsible for the contracting activity.
