The contract also contains funding for concept studies related to final disposition of the building. This contract will allow the Navy to restore the building to a safe condition and provide options for the Chief of Naval Operations and Secretary of the Navy’s consideration in their decision making process. No decision has been reached on the final disposition of NAVSEA HQ.

The NAVSEA Headquarters building is approximately 650,000 square feet and is a historic federal facility with administrative and support spaces for more than 3,000 employees.
