Huntington Ingalls To Provide Support For US Navy Aircraft Carriers

Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) announced today that its AMSEC LLC subsidiary has won a contract to provide maintenance, training and planning support for U.S. Navy aircraft carriers.

The indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ), cost-plus-fixed-fee contract contains a one-year base period with four one-year option periods which, if exercised, would bring the cumulative value of the contract to about $135 million.

"AMSEC continues to respond to our customer's needs and enhance our services to meet the Navy's requirements," said Harris Leonard, HII vice president and president of AMSEC operations. "We look forward to building on our record of superior service to the Naval Sea Systems Command and the naval fleet they support."

AMSEC will furnish engineering services, maintenance and operator training as well as technical and repair services in support of maintenance and planning for the overhaul, modernization and repair of shipboard elevators, cargo-handling equipment and associated systems installed within U.S. Navy aircraft carriers.

"We are pleased to continue supporting the Navy with this very important work," said Brad Mason, director of the maintenance, modernization and technical services operation. "The Elevator Support Unit (ESU) has been one of AMSEC's core contracts for years and we look forward to continuing our work with the Navy in the vital areas of maintenance, training, alterations and installation."

The work is expected to be completed by December 2018.
