BAE Systems Land And Armaments L.P.

BAE Systems Land And Armaments L.P., a foreign-owned defense manufacturer and subsidiary of BAE Systems, Inc., manufactures and sustains advanced military ground combat vehicles and associated components for the U.S. Army and Marine Corps as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards) under full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations. The company, headquartered in Sterling Heights, Michigan, competes predominantly on large definitive contracts and indefinite delivery vehicles rather than small-business or minority-owned set-asides.

The vendor's customer concentration is heavily weighted to ground combat modernization programs within Army and Marine Corps acquisition commands. The top five funding offices account for 89% of awards by count and 99% by combined potential value. The Marine Corps leads by award volume with 36 delivery orders ($708.2 million combined potential value), anchored to a single-award $137 million IDC for Amphibious Combat Vehicle Family of Vehicles (ACV FoV) parts and support where the company serves as the primary vehicle manufacturer and parts supplier. Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal (9 awards, $4.09 billion combined potential value) represents the largest dollar concentration and includes the company's primary indefinite delivery contract M6785421D0001, a single-award vehicle valued at $278.2 million for Cold Weather All-Terrain Vehicle (CATV) procurement and sustainment, with BAE Systems named as sole-source provider based on original equipment manufacturer qualification. Army PEO Ground Combat Systems (12 awards, $1.46 billion combined potential value) funds ACV retrofits, Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV) system technical support, and Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle (OMFV) design work. Recent named delivery orders exemplify the footprint: a $38.9 million cold-weather vehicle spare parts and sustainment order from Army PEO Combat Support & Combat Service Support (January 2026, performance in Sweden), a $822.3 million ACV parts delivery order from the Marine Corps (January 2026, Stafford, Virginia), a $97.9 million cost-plus-fixed-fee retrofit installation of post-production Bradley Fighting Vehicle enhancements from PEO Ground Combat Systems (October 2025, San Jose, California), and an $11.4 million development and integration contract for ground vehicle survivability technologies from TACOM Life Cycle Management Command (August 2025, Sterling Heights).

The vendor's parent vehicle footprint is concentrated in single-award Army IDCs. Indefinite Delivery Contract W56HZV22D0082 carries six task orders valued at $516.4 million for CATV procurement and services under PEO CSCSS. IDC W56HZV21D0018 supports four task orders ($272.3 million combined) for AMPV and M113 technical support under PEO Ground Combat Systems. A newly established Basic Ordering Agreement Sustainment Track (BOAST) Program BOA (April 3, 2026) provides a framework for Class IX spare and repair parts orders through April 2031 with no specified ceiling. The Land and Maritime agency awarded a $50 million single-award IDC in December 2025 for ACV spares, repairs, and test equipment, with two delivery orders already issued.

Activity shows substantial growth from 2024 to 2025 (8 awards to 15 awards) but moderated in early 2026 (5 awards in first quarter). Eleven awards totaling $874.5 million in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure across both CATV and ACV sustainment portfolios. The company's largest single delivery obligation — the $314 million CATV procurement order from August 2022 — was originally scheduled for December 2024 completion but appears to have carried into 2025 or beyond based on subsequent delivery orders issued in 2025 and 2026.

Service Contract Inventory reporting captures a portion of the vendor's federal services delivery. SCI-reportable invoiced revenue reached $50.8 million across FY2022–FY2023, with FY2023 showing $35 million in invoicing across 87.1 FTEs. Government-paid hourly rates on service contracts center around a median of $183.84 per hour, with senior labor pricing reaching $246.90 per hour at the 90th percentile. No subcontractor hours were reported in SCI data, indicating the company self-performed all SCI-captured labor. However, SCI represents only a narrow slice of the vendor's federal revenue — the vast majority of dollars flow through goods contracts (vehicles, parts, components) and engineering development work that fall outside SCI's reporting scope.

Across prime contract work, BAE Systems names recurring subcontractors on vehicle component and materials supply. On ACV FoV work, named subs include Iveco Defence Vehicles S.P.A., Hutchinson Industries, Crane Pumps & Systems PFT Corp, The First Electronics Corporation, JWF Defense Systems, and Parker-Hannifin Corporation supplying fuel systems, electrical components, hydraulics, and composite armor. On AMPV and M113 technical support, subcontractors include DRS Network & Imaging Systems, Celltron Inc. (a veteran-owned small business providing cable assemblies), Al-Tech Associates Inc. (a woman-owned small business providing electrical components), and General Dynamics Mission Systems for communications. TACOM ground vehicle survivability development names E&A Products Inc. as a fastener supplier. The vendor also receives sub-awards on federal grant work: National Center For Manufacturing Sciences Inc. named BAE Systems as a sub-recipient on two Hazardous Materials identification grants (Phase II and Phase III) awarded in May and August 2024. The company's OMFV concept design phase carried subcontractors including Multi Dimensional Integration, Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions, and Corvid Technologies for engineering and automation services.

The vendor competes in a concentrated set of defense industrial base categories. NAICS coding is dominated by Military Armored Vehicle, Tank, and Tank Component Manufacturing (41 awards), with secondary presence in Engineering Services (9 awards), All Other Transportation Equipment Manufacturing (7 awards), and Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (6 awards). PSC coding reflects vehicle platforms and components: Miscellaneous Vehicular Components (34 awards), Combat Assault and Tactical Vehicles Tracked (10 awards), and Engineering/Technical Support (4 awards).
