BAE Systems Jacksonville Ship Repair, Jacksonville, Fla., is awarded a $20,447,455 cost-plus-award-fee modification to previously awarded contract (N00024-19-C-2317) to exercise options for the USS Delbert D. Black’s (DDG 119) post shakedown availability (PSA). Work will be performed in Jacksonville. The work to be performed will include correction of government-responsible trial card deficiencies, new work identified between custody transfers at the time of PSA. The incorporation of approved engineering changes will be included that were not incorporated during the construction period, which are not otherwise the building yard's responsibility under the ship construction contract. The PSA is accomplished within a period of approximately 16 weeks between the time of ship custody transfer to the Navy and the shipbuilding and conversion (Navy), obligation work limiting date. The PSA encompasses all of the manpower, support services, material, non-standard equipment and associated technical data and documentation required to prepare for and accomplish the PSA. Work is expected to be complete by July 2021. FY 2014 and FY 20 Navy shipbuilding and conversion funding in the amount of $12,902,625 will be obligated at time of award. Funding will not expire at the end of the current fiscal year. Naval Sea Systems Command, Washington, D.C., is the contracting activity.
