The Department of Defense said Friday the company received a $60 million cost-reimbursable modification, a $58.56 million cost-plus-incentive-fee change, a $20.92 million fixed-price-incentive firm target modification and a $3.44 million cost-plus-fixed-fee adjustment. The contract actions aim to finalize unpriced change orders and enhance the capabilities of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier upon delivery.
