Ships Acquisition Manager Background

The mission of the PEO Ships Acquisition Management (AM) Directorate is to provide Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) and Government Furnished Information (GFI) System Acquisition Management for Team Ships. Current efforts are focused on GFE and GFI management for the DDG51 Class, DDG-1000, Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) Seaframe, Cruiser Modernization, Destroyer Modernization, LCS Mission Module program and Egyptian Fast Missile Craft (EFMC) programs. Future efforts may include GFE/GFI management for other programs as directed by Team Ships. Over the performance period of this task order, the Government anticipates that the scope of the effort will remain relatively constant with possible surges in the work effort likely.

PEO Ships is responsible for the development and acquisition of U.S. Navy surface ships, and is currently managing the design and construction of 11 major ship classes and a wide range of small boats and craft. These platforms range from major warships such as frontline surface combatants and amphibious assault ships to air-cushioned landing craft, oceanographic research ships and special warfare craft. . SEA 21 manages the complete life-cycle support for all non-nuclear surface ships and is the principal interface with the Surface Warfare Enterprise. The directorate is responsible for the maintenance and modernization of non-nuclear surface ships currently operating in the Fleet. Through planned modernization and upgrade programs, SEA 21 will equip today’s surface ships with the latest technologies and systems to keep them in the Fleet though their service lives. Additionally, SEA 21 oversees the ship inactivation process, including transfers or sales to friendly foreign navies, inactivation and or disposal.
