5-YR basic ordering agreement for MQ-4 triton spares/repair

Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, through its Aeronautics Systems Division, was awarded a five-year Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) by the Naval Supply Systems Command effective September 5, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of November 7, 2025, for the procurement of MQ-4C Triton unmanned aircraft spares, repair services, and miscellaneous aircraft accessories and components. The BOA, awarded on a single-award, full and open competitive basis without set-aside provisions, establishes an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity vehicle enabling rapid procurement of specialized components and parts essential to sustaining the Navy's high-altitude, long-endurance maritime surveillance capabilities. All work is performed at Northrop Grumman's San Diego, California facility. The BOA ceiling value is listed as $0.00, reflecting the structure as an indefinite pricing vehicle through which delivery orders are issued as specific requirements arise. Northrop Grumman, as the original equipment manufacturer and primary systems integrator for the MQ-4C Triton platform, maintains established expertise in supporting this critical intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance asset and leverages specialized subcontractors including Extreme Engineering Solutions, Aurora Flight Sciences, Eaton Aerospace, and Qarbon Aerospace Foundation to fulfill component manufacturing and technical support requirements.

Through November 2025, the Naval Supply Systems Command has issued numerous firm fixed-price delivery orders under this BOA totaling approximately $19.5 million, procuring specialized aircraft components including structural assemblies (aircraft doors, wing sections, ailerons, rudders, and radomes), control systems (aileron-ruddervators, control rods, and electromechanical actuators), mechanical components (hinge bolts, manifold assemblies, boost pump fuel systems, and steering assemblies), electronic systems (gateway processors, power control assemblies, radio receivers, antennas, and electronic shields), hydraulic systems (hydraulic reservoirs and heat exchangers), and communications and positioning equipment (global positioning systems, communications components, and server networking equipment). Individual delivery order values range from approximately $20,000 for routine spare parts to $2.8 million for major component procurements such as aircraft doors and wing sections, with completion dates extending through 2027. These procurement activities support ongoing maintenance, sustainment, and operational readiness of the Navy's MQ-4C Triton unmanned aircraft fleet, enabling the Naval Supply Systems Command to efficiently manage the logistics pipeline and spare parts inventory necessary for continuous maritime surveillance and reconnaissance operations.
