By GlobalDataThe contract work will be executed in the US states of Pennsylvania, Washington DC, Virginia, Massachusetts, Georgia, California, and Washington state, as well as in Japan.
Submarines underway or while in port will also host the contract work.
McKean also plans to expand its staff with logisticians, engineers, and engineering technicians.
McKean Defense CEO Joseph Carlini said: “This win reflects McKean’s first prime contract supporting NSWCPD’s submarine programme office, and our bid leverages existing tools and processes already employed through the Warfare Center.
“High visibility programmes, such as the Virginia Class and Columbia Class, will require the best engineering solutions and new technologies for emergent equipment issues, and McKean is proud to have been selected.”
In February this year, McKean received the Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific (NIWCPAC) command, control, communications, computers (C4) intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) shore platform contract.
The cost-plus-fixed-fee, firm-fixed-price contract has a base value of $56.3m with a ceiling of $249m.
