About this opportunity
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) at Patuxent River, Maryland issued a sole-source contract modification to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (NGSC) under contract N00019-19-C-0008 for $5,749,572 to incorporate recurring and non-recurring Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) into MQ-4C Triton Production Unmanned Aircraft for Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) Lots 5, 6, and 7. The Firm-Fixed-Incentive-Price (FPIF) modification was awarded on September 19, 2025, under sole-source authority because NGSC is the exclusive designer, developer, manufacturer, integrator, and producer of the MQ-4C Triton unmanned aircraft systems and ground stations. The broader LRIP program encompasses production of 9 total aircraft across Lots 5 and 6 (4 for the U.S. Navy and 4 for the Royal Australian Air Force) with an estimated total contract value of $1,372.59 million covering production management, systems engineering, parts obsolescence, engineering changes, and logistics support through fiscal years 2020 and 2021.
