The federal contract IDV is a Basic Ordering Agreement awarded by the U.S. Navy's Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) office to Lockheed Martin Corporation. The contract facilitates the continued sustainment and replenishment of the Trident Navigation Subsystem, a critical component of the Navy's Trident II nuclear deterrent program. Under this $0 ceiling IDV, Lockheed Martin has received multiple delivery orders valued at over $12 million to provide spare parts, test equipment, and other replenishment gear needed to maintain the Trident platform. The contract work primarily takes place in New York, with no set-aside designations indicated. Lockheed Martin has a long history of supporting the Trident program and other major defense acquisition efforts through its role as a prime contractor and integrator of advanced aerospace and defense technologies. The contract work aligns with the Navy's ongoing efforts to sustain its strategic deterrence capabilities.
The original sources sought notice from 2019 indicates the Navy sought a follow-on contract for continued production, installation, and test support related to the Trident Navigation Subsystem. This effort is linked to existing Trident-related engineering services and development contracts held by Lockheed Martin. The Navy aimed to acquire these products and services through a mix of contract types, including cost-plus-incentive-fee, cost-plus-fixed-fee, and fixed-price-incentive-fee arrangements. The sources sought notice did not constitute a formal solicitation, but was intended to gather market research and assess industry capability prior to determining the acquisition approach.
