About this award
Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (Aeronautics Systems Division) was awarded a $1.93 million firm fixed-price definitive contract by the Air Education and Training Command on July 22, 2024, for Phase 1 of the GRAY ZERO Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO). The contract, with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2025, and performance location in El Segundo, California, represents a competitive procurement initiated by the Air Force Cryptologic Office seeking innovative commercial technologies across electromagnetic warfare, information operations, electromagnetic digital communications, and multi-domain innovation. The CSO solicitation, posted June 30, 2021, employs a two-phase evaluation process designed to identify mature technologies that can be leveraged in novel ways for field demonstration, with individual contract awards ranging from $50,000 to $50 million over 1–5 years. No set-aside designation was used for this award, indicating open competition as a large business prime contractor.
The contract includes two subcontractors: Corporate Computer Centers, Inc., a woman-owned small business providing communications devices and accessories (awarded September 4, 2024), and Scaled Composites, LLC (a Northrop Grumman subsidiary headquartered in Mojave, California), providing technical services (awarded August 23, 2024). As a Phase 1 award, Northrop Grumman will likely deliver a Quad Chart and two-page white paper for technical evaluation by the Air Force, with potential advancement to Phase 2 contingent upon government selection and funding availability. The contract structure reflects the CSO's emphasis on identifying commercially viable solutions with demonstrated capability within one year.
