About this award

This is a federal contract award from the Naval Air Systems Command to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, a major defense contractor, for the delivery of parachute systems and related equipment. The contract has a value of $443,095.20 and is a firm-fixed-price delivery order. While the original solicitation is not provided, the contract description indicates that the requirement is for "PARACHUTE" systems and components.

Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation's Aeronautics Systems Division, a subsidiary of the larger Northrop Grumman Corporation, is the prime contractor. The company has been awarded several other notable federal contracts, including an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract with the Department of the Air Force for open architecture standards management services, and an IDIQ contract with the Naval Supply Systems Command for the E-2 aircraft platform.

Northrop Grumman has subcontracted a portion of the work to FXC Corporation's Guardian Parachute Division, a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business that specializes in the manufacture of parachute systems and related equipment for the Department of Defense. This subcontract is for "Major Sys/Subsys" and was awarded on November 14, 2016.

The contract does not appear to have a set-aside designation, suggesting that it was competed on an unrestricted basis. The funding agency, the Naval Air Systems Command, is responsible for the research, development, testing, evaluation, procurement, and support of naval aviation aircraft, weapons, and systems.
