Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent and/or closely related prior contract, with Thoma-Sea Marine Constructors identified on prior award W912BU24C0042 (10/07/24–06/15/26) valued at $21,283,724. While the prior work described focuses on shipyard preparation for repowering the dredge Hurley (including planning, systems modifications, and monitoring/control updates), it is similar in that it involves shipyard/drydock-type preparation and marine systems work that can be viewed as part of the same general class of ship repair and modernization activities.
