Team Ships Front Office Win!
On February 18, 2021, TMB was notified that we had won the competition to provide support to the Team Ships Front Office (TSFO). Team Ships provides the U.S. Navy with a single organization that concentrates knowledge, management skills and buying power for the acquisition and modernization of non-nuclear surface ships. The Team Ships Mission is to design, acquire, modernize, and support the current and future Surface Fleet for the U.S. Navy from cradle to grave by translating warfighter requirements into combat capability. Team Ships is the combination of Program Executive Office (PEO) Ships (new construction shipbuilding) and the Surface Ship Maintenance and SEA 21 Directorate (in-service ships sustainment).
TSFO supports both PEO Ships and the Deputy Commander for Ship Maintenance and Modernization (SEA 21) in the following areas: Team Ships and SEA 21 Chiefs of Staff, Acquisition Directorate, Financial Directorate, Futures Directorate, Government Equipment Management Directorate, Industrial Assessment Directorate, Shipbuilding Industrial Base Task Force, Data and Metrics Coordinator and Wartime Readiness Coordinator. Additionally, the TSFO Corporate Operations Directorate includes Information Management, Science and Technology Management, Ship Ceremony Management, Strategic Operations Management, Workforce Operations Management and Front Office Executive Staff Support. There were six teams in total that submitted bids and ours was selected from that robust competition. The total five-year value of this contract is approximately $93M making it immediately the second largest prime contract in our portfolio. This is a major accomplishment for TMB, which will help us navigate the transition from the small business program. This contract will also provide the opportunity to bring more capabilities and synergy to the prime contract work we are already providing to PMS377, PMS 317 and PMS 326. The scope of work covers engineering, technical and professional support services in the following areas: workforce management and corporate operations; business financial management (BFM); internal controls; strategic communications, planning, and alignment; culture assessment; ship milestone ceremony management and graphics; ship program planning and sustainment; Science & Technology (S&T); external liaison support; information management, security and sustainment (IMSS); and internal controls.
Upon receiving the news, TMB Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Tom Dority said: “This is a tribute to our proposal development efforts and for all the excellent work everyone at TMB does on all contracts. Our day-to-day excellence in supporting our Sailors and Marines makes us the kind of company the Navy selects for these important engagements. It is also high praise for our incumbent partners VTG Defense (Delta Resources) and Clarke Consulting. Recompetes are always in part, a referendum on the work of the incumbent contractors and in this case, Team TMB was able to provide compelling evidence that we were the Team to lead TSFO into the future. We are humbled by the opportunity and can’t wait to get started”.
