A weekly publication of Newport News Shipbuilding
Last week, AMSEC was awarded two contracts in support of the U.S. Navy. Naval Sea Systems Command in Washington, D.C., awarded a contract to AMSEC for technical and logistical support services, as well as material kitting services, for U.S. Navy LCC 19-class Amphibious Command ships. Material kitting services involve the pre-packaging of materials required to complete a specific task. Amphibious Command ships provide command and control for fleet commanders. A total of three indefinite-delivery/ indefinite-quantity contracts were awarded for these services with a combined maximum dollar amount of $96.8 million. AMSEC was also awarded the initial delivery order valued at $1.2 million. “AMSEC continues to respond to our customer’s needs and enhance our services to meet the Navy’s requirements,” said Harris Leonard, NNS vice president and president of AMSEC Operations. “We will build on our record of superior service to the Naval Sea Systems Command and the naval fleet they support.”
