BAE Jacksonville gets $22.4 million for LCS work

NOVEMBER 6, 2017 —BAE Systems, Jacksonville, FL, was recently awarded a $22,459,901 modification to a previously awarded contract to exercise options for post shakedown availabilities (PSAs) for the Littoral Combat  Ships, USS Little Rock (LCS 9) and USS Sioux City (LCS 11).

The PSA encompasses all of the manpower, support services, material, non-standard equipment and associated technical data and documentation required to prepare for and accomplish the PSA.

Fiscal 2017 and 2012 shipbuilding and conversion (Navy); and fiscal 2017 other procurement (Navy) funding in the amount of $14,574,242 will be obligated at time of award and will not expire at the end of the current fiscal year.
