This firm-fixed-price purchase order contract, awarded by the Air Force Sustainment Center, provides for the procurement of one (1) Ground Handling Adapter for the B-2 aircraft. The contract was awarded to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, a major defense contractor and subsidiary of Northrop Grumman Corporation. The contract has a ceiling value of $64,992.00 and a performance period through July 2019.

The company subsequently awarded a subcontract to May Tool And Mold Co., Inc., a manufacturer of specialized aerospace components, to support the production of the ground handling adapter.
