PORT HUENEME, Calif. (NNS) -- Naval Facilities Expeditionary Logistics Center (NFELC) awarded PC Mechanical, Inc., Santa Maria, Calif., a $26,184,518 firm-fixed price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract June 22 for the overhaul, preventive maintenance, and services of civil engineer support equipment (CESE).

"NFELC manages civil engineer support equipment that supports a diverse group of expeditionary units," said Capt. Jim Worcester, NFELC commanding officer. "This contract will be the primary vehicle to execute major equipment overhaul and repair to ensure we maintain the highest readiness posture to complete worldwide mission requirements."

This contract supports the CESE Life Extension Program to reset the force after exhaustive use in Iraq, Afghanistan and other areas of operation. This includes CESE under the Navy Expeditionary Combat Command and Naval Facilities Engineering Command umbrella which supports expeditionary forces, mobile utilities equipment, and the Naval Logistics Integration initiative with the U.S. Marine Corps.

CESE encompasses automotive vehicles, motorized and non-motorized construction equipment, material/weight handling equipment, international standard organization shipping containers, mineral products plant facilities, and mobile utilities equipment. This equipment supports Navy expeditionary force missions in Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom, Horn of Africa, Southwest Asia, forward-deployed sites in Europe, Okinawa, Japan, Guam, Korea, and forces in the Continental U.S. engaged in mission and training support.

Repair services will be performed at the contractor's facility, except when servicing needs to be accomplished immediately where the equipment is located, or when the equipment cannot be moved.

This contract contains a base year and four option years, which if exercised, will bring the cumulative value of the contract to $139,495,275. The contract is expected to be completed by June 2014.
