BlueHalo just landed a $30.7 million contract with the U.S. Navy.
They’ll be working with the Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific to support a powerful underwater robot called the Mission Specialist Defender.
This deal runs for five years and shows how trusted BlueHalo is when it comes to protecting the seas, finding threats, and helping with missions deep underwater.
We’re proud to keep pushing forward and helping the Navy stay ready for anything below the surface.
Navy Contract Drives Advanced Underwater Robotics Development
This Navy contract for underwater robotics follows the $92.6 million MESR contract the Navy awarded to VideoRay last year. BlueHalo later acquired VideoRay. This new win shows how BlueHalo successfully combines commercial off-the-shelf defense products with the Navy’s evolving needs.
Their Mission Specialist Defender ROV is built for high-risk maritime environments. It offers:
- Strong maneuverability
- Payload integration
- Operational flexibility
These features support the Navy’s expeditionary forces effectively.
Key Lessons for Government Contractors
This contract award offers important insights for companies looking to work with the federal government:
- Master the proposal process: Companies that understand how to respond to RFIs and RFPs and craft strong technical and management plans gain a competitive advantage.
- Federal investment in technology is growing: The government is spending heavily on defense, cybersecurity, AI, and unmanned systems. This opens up many opportunities.
- Align your solutions with agency goals: Proposals that match agency priorities stand a better chance of winning multi-year contracts.
How to Win Navy Contracts
If you want to break into or grow in government contracting or secure larger Navy contracts, focus on a solid proposal strategy. This includes:
- Identifying the right opportunities
- Developing compliant and persuasive responses
- Refining your pricing strategy
Winning Navy contracts is about more than just technology. It requires telling the right story to the right agency in the right way.
Why BlueHalo’s Success Matters
BlueHalo proves that even tough contracts are within reach with the right approach.
