Project anatomy
Contract scope and delivery roles
- Client / authority
- U.S. Department of the Navy, award office N39430
- Delivery parties
- Oceanetics Inc. - confirmed prime contractor under delivery order N3943025F0149, Healy Tibbitts Builders, Inc. - confirmed USD 746,755.50 subaward described as Charter Agreement For Pearl Harbor V5 Mooring, Marine Fenders International Inc. - confirmed USD 124,112 subaward described as Ocean Guard Mooring Buoy
- Contract route
- Firm-fixed-price delivery order N3943025F0149 under IDIQ N3943025D2004. USAspending records fair-opportunity competition, full and open competition after exclusion of sources, and two offers received. The award and subaward records do not disclose lower-tier purchase orders or every package participant.
- Execution window
- The prime performance period runs from 9 September 2025 to 11 September 2026. Reported subaward actions are dated 10 October 2025 for Marine Fenders International and 3 December 2025 for Healy Tibbitts Builders. Published award fields contain no mobilisation date, installation window, percentage complete, test date or acceptance milestone.
- Works package
- The Navy's stated objective is installation of two mooring buoys for vessels at Wharf V5. The subaward layer identifies an Ocean Guard buoy supply package and a project charter agreement. Buoy model, dimensions, safe working load, anchor blocks, chain or ground tackle, connection hardware, mooring analysis, survey scope, marine plant, diving scope, testing criteria and acceptance documentation remain undisclosed.
- Marine interfaces
- The package must connect manufactured buoy assemblies, ground-tackle and anchor arrangements, lift and marine-plant access, positioning, underwater work, vessel-support requirements and Navy acceptance at an operating naval waterfront. Those interfaces are analytical watchpoints only until task-order documents, drawings, notices or dated field records are public.
- Commercial evidence boundary
- The named supply chain now extends one level below the prime: Oceanetics, Healy Tibbitts and Marine Fenders International are attributable to this award through federal records. The combined reported subaward value is USD 870,867.50, but that figure does not define complete subcontract coverage or scope allocation. Unnamed survey, engineering, lifting, diving, towing, ground-tackle and commissioning roles should not be assigned without project-specific evidence.
