By Pacific Island Times News Staff

The Military Sealift Command in Norfolk, Virginia, has awarded a $249 million ship repair contract to Blue Steel Marine LLC, a Guam company based in Talofofo.

"This action represents a rolling admission to a previously awarded multiple-award contract. Work will be performed in Guam and is expected to be completed by November 2027," the Department of War said.

The contract includes a five-year ordering period. The U.S. Navy's fiscal 2026 operation and maintenance funds in the amount of $3,500 will be obligated at the time of award and will expire at the end of the current fiscal year. All other funding will be provided on individual delivery orders as they are issued.

This contract was a HUBZone set-aside, solicited via the Government Point of Entry website, with two proposals received.
