General Dynamics Electric Boat has been awarded a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract modification valued at 269,264,180 dollars for the production of 42 missile tubes and associated outfitting materials. This effort supports the Joint U.S. and UK Common Missile Compartment program, specifically benefiting the COLUMBIA Class Fleet Ballistic Missile Submarines and the UK Dreadnought. The project will be executed across two locations, with 71 percent of the work performed in Quonset Point, Rhode Island, and 29 percent in York, Pennsylvania, with an expected completion date of May 2028. The contract is managed by the Naval Sea Systems Command and incorporates foreign military sales funding from the United Kingdom. Initial obligations at the time of award total 49,500,000 dollars, sourced from Fiscal 2019 shipbuilding and conversion Navy funds and UK contributions. This funding is designated to remain available beyond the current fiscal year to ensure the continuous production of critical submarine components.
