US Navy awards $1.4 billion contracts for four LCS ships
The US Navy issued contract modifications to Lockheed Martin and Austal USA under their respective littoral combat ship (LCS) block buy contracts to add funding for construction of two littoral combat ships each.
This is the third funding increment for each contractor under their previously awarded, fixed-price incentive “block buy” contracts for the design and construction of up to 10 LCS Flight 0+ ships. The two block buy contracts provide for the acquisition of a total of up to 20 littoral combat ships from fiscal year 2010 through fiscal year 2015, subject to availability of appropriations.
Under the block buy contract with Lockheed Martin Corporation, $715,000,351 was added for construction of two fiscal year 2012 LCS ships. Under the block buy contract with Austal USA, $691,599,014 was added for construction of two fiscal year 2012 LCS ships. These ships will be built at Marinette Marine Corporation in Marinette, Wisconsin, and Austal USA in Mobile, Alabama, respectively.
