ROCKVILLE, Maryland -- BAE Systems has been awarded an $8.6 million contract for technical and professional support services for the In-Service Engineering and Integrated Logistics Support department of the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC), Keyport, Washington. The total cumulative value of the contract could reach approximately $54 million if all four one-year options are exercised. The award was made under the Naval Sea Systems Command SeaPort-e multiple award contract.
Under the contract, BAE Systems will provide professional engineering, logistics, and business management services that include combat systems and sonar engineering support, aviation training systems support, sonar training, computer-based training engineering support, technical manual control and maintenance, and performance based logistics administration support. The contract is a continuation of work BAE Systems has performed for NUWC since 1979.
