This federal contract IDV award to Loughmiller Machine, Tool & Design, a small business manufacturer in Loogootee, Indiana, is for the new manufacture of AN/SPS-49 radar systems and components in support of the U.S. Navy. The $4.8 million IDV was awarded by the Naval Sea Systems Command, a defense agency, with a period of performance through June 2029. Under this IDV, Loughmiller has received delivery orders totaling over $1.3 million for the production of SPS-49 radar reflectors, arrays, and other components. Loughmiller has extensive experience providing specialized parts and assemblies for major Navy weapons and radar platforms, including prior awards for aircraft components, antenna kits, and AN/SPS-48 arrays. The original $10.4 million IDV for SPS-48 radar arrays and a $30 million IDV for Growler and Poseidon aircraft parts demonstrate Loughmiller's role as a key supplier of critical naval radar and weapons systems hardware.
