April 11 2017 - 11:45AM
Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE:HII) announced today that its
Technical Solutions division has received a contract award to
provide engineering services and technical, logistics, maintenance
and installation/alteration support to Naval Sea System Command’s
Naval Surface Warfare Center Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD).
AMSEC LLC, now part of the Fleet Support Group of
HII’s Technical Solutions division, will perform the work for
NSWCPD’s Cargo and Weapons Handling Division in major home ports in
the United States, as well as in Canada and Egypt. If all options
are exercised, the cost-plus-fixed-fee contract, worth
approximately $39 million, is expected to be completed by April
2022.
The work includes ship alterations, ship change
documents, authorized work items, system repairs, operability
testing, certification and inspections. Tasks also include drawing
and technical manual development, fabrication of material and
support for cargo/weapons and personnel elevators, dumbwaiters,
magazine-handling systems, aircraft elevators and vertical package
conveyors. The work will be conducted on U.S. Navy and Military
Sealift Command ships, including LHA- and LHD-class amphibious
assault ships, LPD-class amphibious transport docks, LSD-class dock
landing ships, T-AOE-class fast combat support ships and
T-AKE-class dry cargo/ammunition ships.
Dave Henshaw, program manager of the Fleet Support
Group’s elevator support unit, said AMSEC has demonstrated a
reliable performance record since its first task award in 1981.
“Our technical experts have a commitment to safety and quality and
have continuously supported the NSWCPD’s mission to deploy
critically needed weapons and cargo-handling equipment technologies
to the fleet,” he said.
James “Rocket” Hamilton, a director of operations
for HII’s Fleet Support Group, added: “Our key personnel have over
112 years of combined conveyor, cargo/weapons elevator and deck
machinery technical, logistics and engineering experience. With the
increased operational tempo and current pressures on maintenance
and modernization budgets, it is even more critical that NSWCPD can
depend on a reliable partner.”
HII Technical Solutions is a professional services
business providing solutions to a variety of government and
commercial customers worldwide. The division was formed in December
