Definitive Contract FA868218C0009

Lockheed Martin Corporation was awarded a $375.0 million definitive contract on September 10, 2018, for the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) Group One/Extreme Range (XR) program under cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing. The contract, managed by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Eglin Air Force Base, supports production and development of the JASSM, a long-range, conventional, air-launched cruise missile system designed to strike high-value, well-defended fixed and relocatable targets from standoff range. Work will be performed primarily in Orlando, Florida, with an ultimate completion date of October 31, 2024. This program is designated as a Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) and includes the baseline JASSM variant as well as Extended Range (ER) and Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM) derivatives. No small business set-aside was used for this award.

The JASSM program represents a critical component of the Air Force's standoff missile capabilities, with Lockheed Martin serving as the prime contractor supported by major subcontractors including Williams International for engines, BAE Systems for electronics, and Parker Hannifin for control systems. The contract encompasses production lots, engineering services, software development, and sustainment support activities. As a Major Capability Acquisition within Acquisition Category IC, the JASSM program reflects the Department of Defense's strategic investment in advanced cruise missile technology for air-launched operations across multiple military platforms and operational scenarios.
