Lockheed Martin Corporation's Rotary and Mission Systems division was awarded a firm fixed price purchase order by the Naval Supply Systems Command on April 25, 2019, for waveguide assembly and waveguide assembly repairs, with a ceiling value of $617,406.70. The contract, which is not designated as a set-aside, is scheduled for completion by June 27, 2025, and will be performed in Moorestown, New Jersey. The award originated from a pre-solicitation opportunity posted in May 2016, reflecting the typical extended timeline between initial solicitation and final contract award for complex defense acquisitions.
Waveguide assemblies are critical components in radar and electronic warfare systems used across the Navy's fleet, supporting platforms such as the AEGIS combat system and associated radar technologies. This purchase order aligns with Lockheed Martin's broader engagement with Naval Supply Systems Command, which includes significant indefinite delivery contracts valued at $83.3 million for AEGIS SPY-1 radar systems. The contract leverages Lockheed Martin's extensive capabilities in manufacturing and sustaining advanced electronic assemblies for naval applications, ensuring continued operational readiness of critical shipboard systems.
