HII has won a $418 million contract to repair and maintain elevators on U.S. Navy aircraft carriers and amphibious ships.
Under the five-year, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract from Naval Sea Systems Command, HII’s Mission Technologies division will provide engineering, maintenance and technical repair support for the elevators, cargo handling equipment and associated systems on the ships.
“Ensuring that essential operational systems — including shipboard elevators — run reliably is central to meeting the readiness needs of our U.S. sailors and Marines,” said Michael Lempke, president of Mission Technologies’ Global Security group. “We look forward to applying four decades of Elevator Support Unit experience to safeguard the performance of these systems and ensure they are reliable, resilient and fully capable of supporting the fleet.”
Mission Technologies will also train sailors to promote self-sufficiency at sea and deploy rapid-response fly-away teams worldwide to complete complex maintenance and repairs safely.
Work will be performed in and outside the continental U.S. and at forward-deployed locations worldwide.
