General Dynamics‘ (NYSE: GD) Bath Iron Works subsidiary has won a potential $100, 418, 069 contract to perform planning yard services for the U.S. Navy‘s Littoral Combat Ship program.
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.
