Falls Church contractor to work on USS Green Bay
Katherine Schulte// December 3, 2024//
Falls Church-based federal contractor BAE Systems Inc. has won a Navy contract worth up to $238.8 million to maintain, modernize and repair a San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock ship.
The Department of Defense announced the $212 million firm-fixed-price contract award, which has options that would bring its cumulative value to $238.8 million, to the U.S. arm of British defense giant BAE Systems on Nov. 25.
BAE Systems Inc.’s San Diego Ship Repair unit will work on the USS Green Bay (LPD 20) in San Diego, and work is expected to be completed by October 2026.
The USS Green Bay was commissioned in 2009 and is the second Navy ship to be named for Green Bay, Wisconsin.
BAE Systems has about 41,000 employees worldwide and reported $13.6 billion in 2023 revenue. In addition to its California shipyard, the company has one in Norfolk and one in Florida. Its Norfolk shipyard team received two Navy contracts in mid-October worth a combined $202 million for the maintenance, modernization and repair of two vessels.
