Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent based on contract N0002423C6106 awarded to Lockheed Martin Corporation for $91,922,540 (02/24/23–01/29/28), covering torpedo maintenance at SUBTORPIMA in Pearl Harbor, HI. The prior award description aligns closely with the current requirement for intermediate and progressive depot level maintenance for MK 48 MOD 6, MOD 6 ACOT, and MOD 7 CBASS warshot/exercise variants, including quality assurance, planning/scheduling, test equipment maintenance, IT/OIS data entry, training/qualification system management, and environmental/safety and ordnance handling support. The scope reads as a continuation of the same maintenance/support functions at the same facility for the same torpedo families and variants.
