NFESC, the Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center (Formerly NCEL, Naval Civil Engineering Laboratory) provides engineering services, technology testing, specialized facilities, and expertise in these facilities. The organization is centered around a primary customer: the United States federal government, specifically branches of the Department of Defense, the Navy, and the Marine Corps, although it does conduct business with a variety of other government and private organizations.
NFESC was established October 1, 1993 from the remains of several other similar organizations, one of which was NCEL.[1] The NFESC workforce included former NCEL employees represented by National Association of Government Employees, and unrepresented employees of other Navy entities.[2]
NFESC is located in Port Hueneme, California..
