Delivery Order W31P4Q23D0014-W31P4Q23F0177

The U.S. Army's Program Executive Office for Missiles and Space awarded a firm fixed-price delivery order valued at approximately $51 million to Raytheon/Lockheed Martin Javelin Joint Venture for the production of 6,300 Javelin anti-tank guided missiles and associated production ramp-up activities. This delivery order, issued on May 3, 2023, falls under a larger Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract valued at $7.3 billion focused on Javelin missile production through June 2028. The work will be performed in Tucson, Arizona, and no set-aside designation was used for this award. The joint venture leverages the specialized expertise of two major defense contractors—Raytheon and Lockheed Martin—to maintain critical U.S. Army anti-tank capabilities. Key subcontractors supporting this effort include Meggitt San Diego, Atlantic Inertial Systems, Parker Hannifin, and Shellcast Foundries.

The Javelin weapons system represents a cornerstone of U.S. military ground combat capability, and this production contract reflects ongoing demand for the system both for force readiness and potential international security assistance. The joint venture's established track record includes previous large-scale production contracts exceeding $1 billion for manufacturing thousands of missiles, demonstrating operational maturity in scaling production to meet Army requirements. The firm fixed-price structure provides cost certainty for the government while the delivery order mechanism under the larger IDIQ enables flexible procurement aligned with evolving military needs through the contract completion date of June 30, 2028.
