The Navy received three offers for the cost-plus-award-fee contract and Bath Iron Works will act as the single planning yard for the LCS ships, the Defense Department said Friday.
Work will encompass engineering, planning, ship configuration, material and logistics support to maintain and modernize both the Independence and Freedom variants in the LCS class.
Bath Iron Works is also required to integrate simultaneous work completion by multiple private and public organizations, the Pentagon says.
Austal USA and Lockheed Martin, the LCS program’s prime contractors, received nearly $1.4 billion in March for the construction of four LCS ships.
