About this award
The U.S. Air Force awarded a $14.379 billion cost-plus-incentive definitive contract to Northrop Grumman Systems Corp for Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) and Early Production and Deployment (P&D) of the Ground-Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD/LGM-35A Sentinel) on September 8, 2020, with performance completing March 10, 2029.
The contract covers full-system development and initial production of a new intercontinental ballistic missile to replace the aging Minuteman III fleet. Place of performance is Roy, Utah. The originating solicitation sought comprehensive engineering support, manufacturing development, and early production-and-deployment activities for the GBSD weapon system, a Major Defense Acquisition Program under Air Force acquisition category ID.
The contract's $14.379 billion ceiling reflects a cost-plus-incentive pricing structure typical of MDAP development efforts. The performance period spans from award through March 2029, covering EMD completion and transition to low-rate initial production.
Northrop Grumman Systems Corp is the Strategic Deterrent Systems Division of Northrop Grumman Corporation and competes this program on an unrestricted basis without set-aside protection. The company has assembled an extensive teaming structure across dozens of subcontractors: component manufacturers including Saft America (batteries), Honeywell International (inertial navigation systems), and Gichner Systems Group (modular shelter infrastructure); software providers including Green Hills Software, Siemens PLM Software, and Carahsoft Technology; and specialized service providers including Metcut Research Associates (materials testing), Stellar Solutions (systems engineering), and a multi-vendor IT hardware and services team spanning Anacapa Micro Products, Thundercat Technology, and others. The subcontractor base reflects the program's scope across propulsion, guidance, warhead integration, ground control systems, test facilities, and manufacturing infrastructure.
