The U.S. Navy submarine tender USS EMORY S. LAND (AS 39) overhaul contract of 150 calendar day shipyard availability was won by Mare Island Dry Dock LLC that was awarded with a $33.5 million firm fixed price for the regular overhaul and drydocking of the naval vessel.
Working capital funds (Navy) for the contract amount are obligated for fiscal 2020 and 2021, and will not expire at the end of the fiscal year. This contract includes a base period and three options which, if exercised, would bring the cumulative value of this contract to around $36.2 million. The U.S. Navy’s Military Sealift Command (MSC) at Norfolk, Virginia, is the contracting activity (N32205-18-C-4552).
The contract work will be performed in Vallejo, California, and is expected to be complete by January 2021.
