Herndon, VA-based Peraton announced on February 18 has won a spot on an up to 10-year, $982.1 million indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity, multiple award contract (IDIQ-MAC) to support the U.S. Navy’s Unmanned Surface Vehicle Family of Systems.
Companies on the IDIQ-MAC, managed by Naval
Sea Systems Command, will have the opportunity to compete in up to six awarded
functional areas for individual delivery orders. Peraton was selected to
compete in all six categories: Payloads, Non-Payload Sensors, Mission Support
Systems, Autonomy and Vehicle Control Systems, Ashore and Host Platform
Elements, and Logistics and Sustainment.
The IDIQ-MAC has a five-year base period and
one five-year ordering period option, which, if exercised, would bring the
cumulative value of this contract to $982,100,000. The task orders issued under
the IDIQ-MAC will help the Navy maintain and modernize to meet current and
future operational requirements. Contractors will compete for task orders to
support the current Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) systems and subsystems as
well as future USV systems and subsystems for Program Executive Office Unmanned
and Small Combatants (PEO USC), Program Management NAVSEA 406 (PMS 406).
Peraton was ranked by Deltek GovWin IQ in
November as one of the nation’s top unmanned underseas and surface vehicle
contractors by revenue, sharing the top rankings with Boeing, Leidos and
Lockheed Martin. Peraton is also the 13th-largest contractor by revenue for
Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Pacific, which oversees a significant
portion of the Navy’s unmanned maritime work. In January, Peraton announced
that it had recently received four U.S. Navy Unmanned Maritime Systems Support
(UMSS) task orders valued at $27.45M.
“Peraton has been a major supporter of the U.S. Navy’s Unmanned Underwater Vehicle Family of Systems for nearly two decades. As the Navy expands its Unmanned Surface Vehicle Family of Systems work, we are proud to be a part of this critical element of the Navy’s warfighting strategy for the future,” said John Coleman, president, Defense and Homeland Security sector. “Based on our long track record, extensive experience, and unmatched relationships, we are confident that we will be competitive for many future task orders under this IDIQ.”
