VSE’s International Group has been awarded a series of contracts to continue work performed under its foreign military sales (FMS) naval ship transfer and repair (N*STAR) contract through the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) International Fleet Support Programme.

Valued at $13.4m, the indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract task orders include Egyptian Navy fast missile craft (FMC) post-delivery activation, maintenance and training; Philippine Navy and Marine Corps in-country technical assistance; and Bahrain Navy engineering, technical and logistics support programmes.

VSE International Group president Harry Flammang said that the company and its N*STAR Team are committed to providing superior training and technical services to foreign navy allies under the NAVSEA FMS contract.

"These delivery orders allow us to provide vital support to foreign navies to achieve their maritime mission requirements," Flammang added.

Under the first $7.6m contract, the company will provide technical, logistic and administrative support on post-delivery activation and reactivation plans for critical systems and subsystems in support of four FMCs being delivered to Egypt.

"These delivery orders allow us to provide vital support to foreign navies to achieve their maritime mission requirements."

The contract, which has a performance period of 13 months, also includes the provision of in-country support to the Egyptian Navy.
