The U.S. Army has issued three firm-fixed-price contracts worth $570 million combined for dry-dock and fleet maintenance services at designated locations in support of the military branch’s watercraft vessels.
Fourteen companies landed spots on a $235 million contract for fleet modifications, on-condition routine maintenance, repairs and dry-dock watercraft support, the Department of Defense said Wednesday.
DOD added that seven awardees can vie for follow-on shipyard services under a separate $180 million contract supporting the Army Watercraft Systems Product Directorate and Watercraft Inspection Branch.
The branch listed 13 awardees for a $155 million contract to provide non-dry dock emergency vessel modernization and repairs.
All three contracts run through Jan. 26, 2026.
The service received 16 bids for the first contract, seven for the second and 15 for the third via an online solicitation.
