BAE Systems Land & Armaments L.P.

BAE Systems Land & Armaments L.P., a foreign-owned subsidiary of BAE Systems PLC, manufactures precision military hardware and components for naval, land, and air defense systems as a prime contractor to the Department of Defense, with no SBA set-aside certifications and headquarters in Fridley, Minnesota (with major manufacturing facilities in Osseo and St. Anthony, Minnesota, and Louisville, Kentucky).

BAE Systems Land & Armaments operates as a nearly pure prime contractor (99% of awards by count), delivering specialized naval components, propulsion systems, gun system parts, electronic assemblies, and mechanical hardware supporting Virginia-class submarine modernization, Littoral Combat Ship programs, DDG 1000 destroyers, and naval gun systems including the MK 38, MK 41, MK 45, MK 110, and MK 29 platforms. Recent representative work includes a $340.5 million definitive contract (April 2025) from Naval Sea Systems Command for manufacture and delivery of MK 29 MOD 0/1 canisters with proximity-fuze-and-time components extending through April 2030; a $145.8 million undefinitized delivery order (April 2026) from PEO Ammunition for M776 cannon tubes in support of Army artillery programs; a $133.7 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract (July 2026) from the Office of the Secretary of Defense for development of an improved low-cost deep magazine ground and air and missile defense system capability; and a $40.5 million delivery order (September 2025) from Naval Sea Systems Command for VCS forward assembly material, manufacturing, and delivery, with named subcontractors including Scot Forge Company (forged steel and non-ferrous components), B&G Manufacturing Co Inc. (precision metal fasteners), and Vegas Fastener Manufacturing LLC (corrosion-resistant fasteners in advanced materials).

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Navy. The top five customers account for 91% of awards by count: Department of the Navy (3,484 awards total), Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (1,280 awards, $30.8 million combined potential value), Naval Supply Systems Command (591 awards, $68.8 million), Naval Sea Systems Command (543 awards, $6.37 billion), and Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (126 awards, $2.7 million). By dollar value, concentration is even tighter—Naval Sea Systems Command alone anchors 86% of the portfolio's ceiling value at $6.37 billion, while the Navy broadly represents the vast majority of dollars across all sub-commands. The Office of Naval Research, PEO Ammunition, and Army Materiel Command are secondary customers but carry nine-figure awards.

Vehicle position spans multiple Basic Ordering Agreements with Naval Supply Systems Command (BOA N0010477A0015 has generated 993 task orders; SPRMM119GT701, SPRMM114G1100, SPRMM119GT301, and SPRMM123GWP06 together account for over 1,500 task orders) and indefinite delivery contracts with Naval Sea Systems Command. BAE Systems Land & Armaments also holds a $24.481 million single-award IDC with Naval Sea Systems Command (awarded February 2026, extending through January 2031) for engineering, fabrication, inspection, assembly, and testing services supporting submarine propulsion component development, and a $151 billion multiple-award IDIQ with the Missile Defense Agency under the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program (awarded December 2025, extending through December 2035) for research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, and modernization across multi-domain defense capabilities including air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threat defense.

Activity has declined year over year—252 awards in 2022 declining to 46 in 2026 (source date September 2, 2026)—suggesting either a consolidation of work into larger delivery orders or shifting procurement patterns. Within the next twenty-four months, 99 awards with combined potential value of $845.8 million reach ultimate completion, presenting significant recompete exposure, particularly on Naval Sea Systems Command and Naval Supply Systems Command vehicles.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue from the Service Contract Inventory dataset carries $0 across all fiscal years FY2022–FY2025, with 0.0–2.4 FTEs recorded; this reflects BAE Systems Land & Armaments' posture as a goods and manufacturing contractor rather than a labor-intensive federal services provider, and the SCI figures represent only a narrow slice of the company's actual federal procurement activity.

BAE Systems Land & Armaments subcontracts to major primes including Lockheed Martin Corporation (Littoral Combat Ship Freedom variant combat system support, LCS Flight 0+ construction), General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc. (LCS Independence class overall in-service engineering and life cycle support), Electric Boat Corporation (secondary propulsion unit components for Virginia-class submarines), and Vigor Marine LLC (MK 41 Vertical Launching System maintenance technician services). A secondary layer of named subcontractors on BAE Systems-prime orders includes Troy Tube & Manufacturing Co. (veteran-owned small business providing precision metal tube assemblies), Fedtech Inc. (waterjet and laser cutting services), and Scot Forge Company (forged steel and non-ferrous metal components), indicating a supply-chain footprint anchored on fabrication and specialized materials rather than labor services.

BAE Systems Land & Armaments competes full-and-open across its prime portfolio with no set-aside posture, reflecting its foreign-owned status and large-contractor classification. The company's award profile is dominated by NAICS codes in electrical equipment and component manufacturing (784 awards), bare printed circuit board manufacturing (656 awards), engineering services (283 awards), and ordnance accessories manufacturing (170 awards), with PSC concentration in guided missile launchers (1,067 awards), missile maintenance and repair (563 awards), and guns across multiple caliber ranges (1,052 awards combined). This categorical footprint underscores a core operational focus on precision naval gun systems, propulsion subassemblies, and integrated weapon system components rather than general-purpose defense manufacturing.
