Navy Awards $20M Contract Relating to Missile Launching System

By Jake Meister | November 20, 2015

Lockheed Martin will receive a three year, $20.5 million Navy contract to make 284 components used in the MK-41 Vertical Launching System (VLS), the U.S. Department of Defense announced in its Thursday digest of work contracts.

According to the Federation of American Scientists, the MK 41 VLS is a “fixed, vertical, multi-missile storage and firing system that lets Navy vessels launch significant firepower.”

More than $6 million in working capital funds will be assigned upon the first delivery order of the items, and will not expire at the end of the 2015 fiscal year. The firm-fixed-price contract is performance based, and was not competitively obtained. The labor will be conducted in Ventura, Calif. (85 percent) and Baltimore (15 percent), and should be finished by November 2018.

The DoD also announced that Lockheed Martin MS2 has been awarded a $7.9 million Defense Logistics Agency contract for supply of receiver processors which will aid the Navy’s program for the H-60 helicopter. The firm-fixed-price delivery order was a sole source acquisition. The labor will be conducted in New York, and should be finished on Jan. 31, 2019.

Massachusetts-based autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) specialist Hydroid will be awarded an $8.6 million modification to a Navy contract for additional assets related to the MK 18 program, which supports unmanned underwater vehicle systems. No other funds will be assigned during the award of the firm-fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract. The labor will be conducted in Pocasset, Mass., and should be finished by September 2017.

Finally, Raytheon Missile Systems has been awarded an $18 million modification to an Air Force contract for CLS High-speed Anti-Radiation Missile Targeting System depot repairs and sustainment work. More than $10 million in fiscal 2016 operations and maintenance funds will be assigned with the award. The labor will be conducted in Tucson, Ariz., and should be finished by Nov. 30, 2016.
