Textron Systems Corporation

Textron Systems Corporation, a subsidiary of Textron Inc. (parent Avco Corp), competes as a large unrestricted defense prime contractor providing unmanned aircraft systems, electronic warfare equipment, circuit card assemblies, calibration and repair services, and contractor logistics support to the Department of Defense across 98 percent of its recent awards. The company maintains headquarters in Cockeysville, Maryland, and operates without SBA set-aside certifications, bidding full-and-open across the defense industrial base.

Textron Systems' customer concentration reflects deep Navy and Air Force relationships. The top five customer agencies by award count—the Department of the Air Force (756 awards), the Department of the Navy (656 awards), the Department of the Army (523 awards), Naval Supply Systems Command (469 awards), and Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (421 awards)—account for 60 percent of awards by volume. By potential value, the concentration shifts: Naval Sea Systems Command (129 awards, $6.17 billion), Army PEO Aviation (91 awards, $5.91 billion), Naval Air Systems Command (62 awards, $2.99 billion), United States Special Operations Command (64 awards, $2.58 billion), and Air Force Materiel Command (66 awards, $1.22 billion) represent 22 percent of combined potential value. Recent high-value work includes a $106.2 million delivery order from Naval Sea Systems Command for unmanned surface vehicle family of systems production (awarded October 2024, completing October 2029); a $100.1 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract from Naval Sea Systems Command for engineering support services (awarded February 2025, completing February 2028); a $52.5 million firm fixed-price delivery order from Naval Air Systems Command for pre-deployment, deployment, and post-deployment support across Operation Inherent Resolve Lot 5 (awarded September 2024, completing February 2028); and a $48.7 million delivery order from Naval Air Systems Command for unmanned air systems intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance services supporting three ships in the 5th Fleet (awarded September 2024, completing September 2029).

Textron Systems holds multiple indefinite delivery contracts anchoring task order activity. The $4 billion Seaport Next Generation (SEAPORT-NXG) multiple-award contract with Naval Sea Systems Command (awarded January 2025, completing January 2029) represents a multi-billion-dollar ceiling for professional support services across defense technology domains. Other major vehicles include a $72.25 million single-award IDIQ for Mine Countermeasures Unmanned Surface Vehicle in-service engineering (Naval Sea Systems Command, July 2024 through August 2029), a $72.1 million single-award IDIQ for Joint Service Electronic Combat Systems Tester contractor logistics support (Air Force Sustainment Center, July 2023 through July 2028), and a $980 million multiple-award Automatic Test Systems Acquisition - I (ATSA-I) contract (Air Force Materiel Command, September 2025 through September 2035). Textron also holds a $58.68 million single-award IDIQ from Air Force Materiel Command for JSECTS contractor logistics support (June 2023 through December 2028), an $8.32 million A2PATS Follow-On sustaining engineering contract (Air Force Materiel Command at Robins AFB, July 2024 through June 2029), a $396 million single-award IDIQ for Family of Maintenance Trainers product line (PEO Simulation, Training and Instrumentation, June 2026 through June 2033), a $750,000 blanket purchase agreement for MEON repairs (Aeronautical Systems Center, February 2026 through December 2031), and a Basic Ordering Agreement with Naval Air Systems Command for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance services (March 2026 through March 2031).

Activity has averaged 73 awards per year over the past five years (72 in 2022, 87 in 2023, 99 in 2024, 76 in 2025, 30 in 2026 year-to-date), with 40 awards valued at $986.6 million facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore exposed to recompete risk. Primary manufacturing concentrations are aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment (272 awards), bare printed circuit board manufacturing (229 awards), and search, detection, navigation, and guidance systems (186 awards). Service Contract Inventory data shows SCI-reported invoiced revenue of $37.4 million across FY2022–FY2025, with $5.6 million in FY2022 (62.7 FTEs), $12.2 million in FY2023 (83.7 FTEs), $16.8 million in FY2024 (98.0 FTEs), and $2.7 million in FY2025 (24.1 FTEs). On SCI-reportable prime contracts, Textron Systems self-performed all reported hours with zero subcontractor engagement. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI federal services work ranged from a 10th percentile of $36.06/hr to a median of $47.24/hr, with senior labor pricing through $72.73/hr.

Textron Systems operates as a prime contractor on 98 percent of awards; sub-award activity concentrates with major defense primes. Named subcontract relationships include work under Lockheed Martin on Next Generation Electronic Optical Detection and Acquisition System (NGDAS) integration and development, on missile warning product office repair and return efforts, and on combat capabilities analysis system (CASS) sustainment and repair support; work under The Boeing Company on F-15EX advanced procurement and KC-46 software sustainment; work under BAE Systems on Big Safari combat capability modernization campaign system (CCMCS) support and related electronic warfare initiatives; work under General Atomics on Gray Eagle performance-based logistics; work under Northrop Grumman on Lebanon C-208 sustainment and gun mission modules; and work under Defense Systems and Solutions on foreign military sales uncrewed aircraft system deliveries. These sub-engagements position Textron Systems as a trusted component and sustainment supplier to the prime defense industrial base rather than a platform prime itself.
