Huntington Ingalls CVN-75: $5,099,973,132 Announced, $0 M Obligated So Far
An announced ceiling of $5,099,973,132 for the CVN-75 overhaul. Nothing is reported for this PIID as of October 6, 2026.
Intro
What is announced on the CVN-75 overhaul contract, and what has USAspending reported so far?
The headline number is an announced ceiling of $5,099,973,132 on N00024-26-C-2175. It is not a round billion, so the title keeps the exact dollars. DefDex serving data is as of 2026-10-06. Obligated so far is $0. The ceiling is not spending. The announcement's $547,826,087 is obligated at award and is not added to the ceiling.
Key takeaways
- The announced ceiling is $5,099,973,132. Options, if exercised, would bring the cumulative announced value to $5,183,380,744. Those two are not added.
- The announcement's $547,826,087 is obligated at award. Obligated so far in USAspending is $0 as of 2026-10-06.
- The same paragraph is on the September 28 and September 29, 2026 contract lists.
- This is a definitive contract with one responsible source, not an IDIQ.
The Announcement
On September 29, 2026, the Department of War contracts list said: "Huntington Ingalls Inc., Newport News, Virginia, is awarded a $5,099,973,132 fixed-ceiling incentive contract for the accomplishment of the USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) refueling and complex overhaul." The PIID is N00024-26-C-2175. "This contract includes options which, if exercised, would bring the cumulative value to $5,183,380,744." That cumulative figure is not added to $5,099,973,132. "Fiscal 2026 shipbuilding and conversion (Navy) funds in the amount of $547,826,087 will be obligated at time of award and will not expire at the end of the current fiscal year." That $547,826,087 is obligated at award. It is not the announced ceiling. The contracting activity named in the paragraph is Portfolio Acquisition Executive Maritime, Washington, D.C. The same paragraph is on the September 28 list.
Obligated So Far
Nothing is reported for this PIID. public.summary_awards has no row whose piid or parent_piid is N00024-26-C-2175 or N0002426C2175. Obligated so far is $0. The $547,826,087 is not used in place of that figure.
Buying Office
No buying office is on a serving row. The announcement names Portfolio Acquisition Executive Maritime, Washington, D.C.
What to Watch
Whether the $547,826,087 posts as a reported action, and whether the options that raise the announced cumulative value to $5,183,380,744 are exercised. Until they are, the headline ceiling stays $5,099,973,132.
Reporting Lag
DoD contract actions appear about 90 days late, so "obligated so far" means "reported so far." A September 29 award can be missing from a file dated October 6.
Coverage
Serving generation 20261023T015323Z, source data as of 2026-10-06, loaded 2026-10-23 00:06 Pacific, public build 89 at 2026-10-23 21:16 Pacific: 4,057,578 promoted awards and 12,424,350 actions, DoD, DHS, DOE, and NASA, FY2008–FY2027, including negative and zero actions. Every IDV is promoted. A definitive contract is promoted at $100,000 of gross positive obligations. The newest action date, including agency 097, is 2026-10-02, and that is not a complete file through that day. Flood insurance (CFDA 97.022), DHS disaster assistance, and non-research assistance are separate lines and are not in this award. A definitive contract of this size would be promoted once it is in the baseline. It is not in the table, so the gap is reporting, not the $100,000 filter. This note states no requested amount and no enacted amount. The dollars it does state are an announced ceiling or an obligation, and those two are not added.
