Huntington Ingalls Inc., Pascagoula, Miss., this week was awarded two separate contracts. One was a $19.1 million modification to previously awarded contract N00024-14-C-2410 for LX(R) Amphibious Ship Replacement Program design acceleration. Work will be done in Pascagoula and is expected to be completed by September 2017. The Naval Sea Systems Command, Washington, D.C., is the contracting activity. In a separate contract, Ingalls was awarded a $14 million base contract to perform an extended selected restricted availability on the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Ramage. With all options exercised, the total contract value would be $21.4 million. The ship was originally built at Ingalls and delivered to the Navy in 1995. The overhaul includes ship alterations, repairs, testing and procurement of materials. Work is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2017. (Sources: DoD, Ingalls, 09/14/16)
