The Department of the Air Force awarded Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation an indefinite delivery contract for SIAW Rapid Prototype Acquisition with a potential value of $65 million. As the prime contractor, Northrop Grumman will deliver specialized weapon systems and technologies from its Weapon System Division facility in Northridge, California.
Three firm fixed price delivery orders have been issued against this contract to date, totaling $62 million. The orders require Northrop Grumman to provide rapid prototype acquisition services from May 2022 through August 2023. As a major global defense contractor, Northrop Grumman will likely draw upon its expertise developing advanced missiles, sensors and electronic warfare systems to fulfill the contract's aim of modernizing Air Force warfighting capabilities.
No subcontractors or set-asides were specified for the delivery orders. The indefinite delivery contract and associated orders continue the Department of the Air Force's practice of establishing multi-year vehicles to streamline procurement of critical weapon systems technologies from experienced prime contractors like Northrop Grumman.
