Purchase Order N0017313P1588

Lockheed Martin Corporation's Rotary and Mission Systems division was awarded a $38,484 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Office of Naval Research on July 9, 2013, for reference cell holders, with an ultimate completion date of November 19, 2013. The work is to be performed in Orlando, Florida. This contract was awarded without any set-aside designation, reflecting Lockheed Martin's status as an established large prime contractor. The award represents part of Lockheed Martin's broader portfolio of component supply contracts for the Department of Defense, where the company routinely provides specialized parts and equipment supporting naval and defense systems.

Reference cell holders are precision-engineered components utilized in laboratory and testing environments, particularly for electrochemical and analytical equipment applications common in naval research facilities. This purchase order reflects the Office of Naval Research's need for specialized laboratory equipment and supplies to support its scientific research mission across naval applications. The modest contract value and compressed performance period indicate this was a straightforward procurement of standard or near-standard components, typical of the numerous smaller delivery orders and purchase orders that Lockheed Martin fulfills annually for Department of Defense agencies alongside its larger, more complex aerospace and defense system integration contracts.
