About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Nuclear Weapons Center awarded a sole source contract modification to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (CAGE Code 06481) on April 2, 2026, for engineering services supporting the Air Launch Cruise Missile (ALCM) Inertial Navigation Element (INE). The modification, valued at $18,930,001, extends the existing Indefinite-Delivery-Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract FA8128-21-D-0001 originally awarded on March 5, 2021, bringing the total contract estimated value to $33,930,000. The work includes recurring and nonrecurring engineering services such as reliability assessments, bearing retrofit studies, burn-in investigations, supportability assessments, and test equipment maintenance, with the contract period extended from March 4, 2028, to March 4, 2031, adding three additional one-year ordering periods (VIII-X) to the original seven periods for a total of ten ordering periods. The sole source justification is based on Northrop Grumman's exclusive ownership of proprietary technical data, drawings, and specialized engineering expertise required for INE sustainment, as confirmed by market research conducted in June 2025.
