The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation awarded a series of firm fixed price delivery orders to Northrop Grumman Technical Services, a subsidiary of Northrop Grumman Corporation, under an indefinite delivery contract. The orders, valued at over $14 million in total, are for the supply of critical aviation components such as trailing edge airfoils, firewall fuselages, hydraulic fixtures, ejector shrouds, horizontal stabilizers, structural panels, and speed brakes. Performance will occur at Northrop Grumman's facility in Clearfield, Utah through June 2026.
The delivery orders were issued against unspecified multiple award contract vehicles held by Northrop Grumman. This allows DLA Aviation to rapidly procure specialized aerospace parts and technical services to support fleet sustainment and readiness initiatives for the Department of Defense. No set-aside provisions were applied to these awards. The original contract opportunity involved DLA Aviation conducting market research to determine if other companies could provide the required aviation components that are currently sole-sourced to Northrop Grumman. However, the government opted to negotiate solely with Northrop Grumman as the original equipment manufacturer.
