Deck and Hatch Assembly

The Department of the Navy is forecasting the procurement of the Deck and Hatch Assembly for the MK 41 Vertical Launching System. This safety critical component serves as the upper portion of the VLS module and integrates into the ship structure upon installation. The assembly consists of eight cell hatches, one uptake hatch, and the necessary mechanical components for operation, as well as a module deluge system designed to mitigate hazards during mishaps. The assembly requires precise alignment to attach to other MK 41 VLS module components, including the plenum and uptake sections. This requirement is managed by the Naval Surface Warfare Center Port Hueneme Division, with the place of performance located in Port Hueneme, California. The procurement is categorized under NAICS code 332999.
