Trident II (D-5) Sea-Launched Ballistic Missile UGM 133A

The Trident II (D-5) Sea-Launched Ballistic Missile UGM 133A is a Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) managed by the U.S. Department of the Navy's Strategic Systems Programs office. This Category IC program follows the Major Capability Acquisition pathway and represents a critical component of the U.S. Navy's strategic deterrence capabilities. The program encompasses the development, production, deployment, and sustainment of submarine-launched ballistic missiles, along with associated support systems, infrastructure, and technical services.

Recent contract awards associated with this program range from small purchases of under $20,000 to large system integration efforts exceeding $100 million, with performance periods typically spanning 1-5 years. Major prime contractors include Lockheed Martin Corporation, General Dynamics Mission Systems, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, and Electric Boat Corporation, primarily delivering systems engineering, program management, and technical integration services. Information technology represents a significant portion of contract spending, with companies like Paragon Micro, Carahsoft Technology, and Dell Marketing providing software licenses, hardware, and IT support services through various government-wide acquisition contracts, particularly NASA SEWP V and GSA Multiple Award Schedule. Primary funding agencies are the Naval Strategic Systems Programs office and Navy Installations Command, with frequent performance locations in Washington, D.C., and Kings Bay Base, Georgia. While many contracts have no set-aside designation, the program utilizes total small business set-asides and 8(a) sole source awards for certain requirements, particularly in IT services and equipment procurement.
