BAE Systems Land & Armaments L.P.

BAE Systems Land & Armaments L.P., a foreign-owned manufacturer of precision military hardware and components for naval, land, and air defense systems, operates as a prime contractor and occasional subcontractor to the Department of Defense, with 99% of its recent award volume in prime roles and no SBA set-aside designations. The company is a subsidiary of BAE Systems, Inc., headquartered in Fridley, Minnesota, with primary manufacturing facilities in Osseo, St. Anthony, and Louisville, Kentucky.

BAE Systems Land & Armaments' federal footprint centers on naval weapon systems and submarine propulsion components. The company manufactures precision military hardware including propulsor subassemblies, naval gun system parts, valve assemblies, proximity switches, circuit card assemblies, cable assemblies, seals, gaskets, firing pins, recoil indicators, and specialized mechanical and electronic components supporting Virginia-class submarine modernization, Littoral Combat Ship initiatives, DDG 1000 destroyer programs, and MK 38/MK 41/MK 45 naval gun system platforms. Recent representative prime awards include a $340.5 million definitive contract from Naval Sea Systems Command (April 2025) for manufacture and delivery of MK 29 MOD 0/1 canisters with proximity-fuze-and-time components; a $145.8 million five-year IDIQ from Army PEO Ammunition (April 2026) for first-article testing and production of M776 cannon tubes; a $40.5 million delivery order from NAVSEA (September 2025) for VCS forward assembly materials; and a $14.3 million delivery order from NAVSEA (February 2025) for MK 110 engineering support and logistics services.

Customer concentration is extreme and centered on the Navy. The Department of the Navy accounts for 3,484 of 6,586 recent awards (53% of volume). Within that, Naval Sea Systems Command dominates with 538 awards carrying $6.33 billion in combined potential value (86% of the total portfolio's $7.39 billion ceiling). Naval Supply Systems Command follows with 583 awards at $67.4 million combined value. Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime contributes 1,269 awards, but at modest per-order magnitude ($30.3 million combined). Army Acquisition Support Center (PEO Ammunition) anchors $339.8 million across 11 awards, centered on cannon tube procurement. The imbalance between award count and dollar magnitude reflects BAE Systems' established position on high-value NAVSEA contracts issuing many small component delivery orders alongside occasional large procurements.

BAE Systems Land & Armaments holds five named parent vehicles. The Basic Ordering Agreement N0010477A0015 (Naval Supply Systems Command, extending through September 30, 2028) has generated 993 task orders for specialized naval components and technical services. Three additional BOAs under NAVSUP designations (SPRMM119GT701, SPRMM114G1100, SPRMM119GT301) have produced 500, 390, and 389 task orders respectively, valued at $13.1 million, $10.5 million, and $12.2 million combined. A fifth vehicle under Army Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal (SPRMM123GWP06) generated 221 task orders at $6.9 million. The company's primary indefinite delivery contracts include a $91.8 million single-award IDC with NAVSEA (September 2024 through September 2027) for propulsor forward subassemblies and naval gun system parts supporting Virginia-class submarines; a $77 million BOA with NAVSEA for MK 110 naval gun parts and services; and the newly awarded $24.5 million NAVSEA IDIQ (February 2026 through January 2031) for submarine propulsion component development and engineering services.

Activity has declined year over year, from 252 awards in 2022 to 22 in the first four months of 2026. This trajectory reflects maturation of major vehicle contracts (particularly NAVSEA's propulsor and gun system platforms) which now operate as non-competitive delivery order mechanisms rather than new competitive procurements. A recompete cliff of 99 awards valued at $554 million faces completion within the next twenty-four months, representing renewal pressure on BOAs with Naval Supply Systems Command and potential new IDIQ competitions.

BAE Systems Land & Armaments engages a deep subcontractor network on major programs. Named subs include Electric Boat Corporation (Virginia-class submarine secondary propulsion units), Lockheed Martin Corporation (Littoral Combat Ship combat systems sustainment and in-service engineering), General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc. (LCS command and control systems), Vigor Marine LLC (MK 41 VLS maintenance technician services), East Coast Repair & Fabrication, LLC (vertical launching system cell hatch replacement), and specialized vendors including Troy Tube & Manufacturing (veteran-owned small business providing metal fabrication and precision tube components), Scot Forge Company (forged steel and non-ferrous components), Fedtech Inc. (waterjet and laser cutting services), Parker-Hannifin Chomerics Division (EMI shielding), Ducommun Labarge Technologies (electronic assemblies), Bailey Hardware & Hydraulic Fittings (HUBZone-certified fasteners and hydraulic components), and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, Ltd. (Israeli electro-optical sensor systems).

The company competes full-and-open on high-value IDIQs and sole-source on established BOAs, with no reliance on set-aside categories. Its NAICS profile centers on miscellaneous electrical equipment manufacturing (784 awards), bare printed circuit board manufacturing (656), engineering services (283), and aircraft parts manufacturing (225). By PSC code, the vendor aligns heavily with guided missile launchers (1,067 awards), missile maintenance and repair (563), and guns of all calibers (1,043 across 75mm through 150mm categories). Place of performance spans Fridley, Osseo, St. Anthony, and Louisville for prime work, with subordinate facilities supporting Columbia-class submarine bearing support structures, Virginia-class propulsion components, and littoral combat ship integration across multiple Navy shipyards and maintenance locations.
