Honeywell International Inc.

Honeywell International Inc. Aerospace-Minneapolis Division, doing business as Honeywell International, manufactures inertial measurement units (IMUs), inertial reference units (IRUs), ring laser gyroscopes, radar altimeters, and related aerospace guidance and navigation components as a prime contractor (94% of recent awards) and subcontractor to major defense primes. The division operates as a child entity within Honeywell International Inc., a large for-profit manufacturer headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, with the Aerospace-Minneapolis Division based at 2600 Ridgway Parkway, Minneapolis, Minnesota. Honeywell competes on full-and-open basis across all recent awards, with no set-aside designations applied.

Honeywell's federal customer base concentrates heavily in Department of Defense accounts, particularly the Department of the Navy. The top five customer agencies by potential value account for 67% of combined potential value: the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command leads with 235 awards valued at $128.4 million combined potential; the Department of the Army Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command follows with 60 awards totaling $115.9 million; the Department of the Army Materiel Command Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground contributes 40 awards worth $60.7 million; the Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Missiles and Space provides 13 awards totaling $49.2 million; and Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime rounds the top tier with 49 awards valued at $44 million. By award count, the Department of the Air Force places 278 awards, Defense Logistics Agency places 264, Naval Supply Systems Command places 235, and the Department of the Army places 204, with these four agencies representing 60% of award volume across 48 distinct customer agencies.

Honeywell holds five significant indefinite delivery contracts generating the highest task-order volume. The IDV F0960392G0062 has generated 71 task orders; IDV N0038398G001G has generated 70 task orders; IDV F0960396G0011 has generated 60 task orders; IDV N0038304G013A has generated 52 task orders with $856 thousand combined potential value; and IDV SPE4A519D0006 has generated 43 task orders carrying $2.2 million combined potential value. These vehicles span multiple service branches and logistics agencies and serve as the primary ordering mechanism for Honeywell's aerospace component deliveries.

Named prime work spans precision guidance and stabilization systems. A $12.3 million Naval Supply Systems Command single-award indefinite delivery contract (awarded April 2023, completion April 2024) supplies ring laser gyros and related support from Minneapolis through December 2025, with first delivery orders reaching $12 million. A $6.9 million Army Communications Electronics Command task order (September 2021, completion December 2023) generated RACC209 documentation for airworthiness release certification on radar altimeter programs. A $9 million Naval Air Warfare Center definitive contract (July 2021, completion June 2023) provided non-recurring engineering support for the APN-194A multi-platform radar altimeter across 19 aircraft types, with Belcan Engineering Group, Ideal Aerosmith, Eastern Optx, and Teledyne Wireless named as major subcontractors. A $4 million Defense Logistics Agency Aviation single-award indefinite delivery contract (September 2022, completion October 2031) supplies sole-source commercial and non-commercial aerospace parts and supply chain management for platforms including C-130, F-15, FA-18, and B-52 aircraft, engines, and helicopters. Representative recent smaller delivery orders include a $325,400 Coast Guard purchase order for 5G testing and evaluation of APN 209 and HG9550 radar altimeters (March 2024, completion July 2024); a $19,575 Shared Services Center purchase order for one angular rate sensor (May 2026, completion November 2026); and a $256,482 Air Force Sustainment Center order for C-5 avionics platform component repair (February 2023, completion February 2024).

Honeywell's subcontract footprint reveals substantial defense industrial integration. Raytheon Company accounts for the largest and most recent sub volume, with over 40 named sub tasks spanning IMUs and IRUs for AMRAAM production lots 34–40, Advanced Technology Support Program (ATSP) microelectronic capability enhancements, SM-3 Block IIA foreign military sales, COYOTE counter-unmanned aircraft system solutions, Stinger missile production rate gyros, SM-6 tactical all-up-rounds, and AIM-9X production lots, with tasks ranging from long-lead material procurement through December 2025 to non-recurring engineering work. Lockheed Martin Corporation subcontracts Honeywell for IMUs on Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM), Air-to-Ground Missile Systems (AGMS), Hellfire II, Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM), and PAC-3 missile programs, with recent tasks awarded December 2024 through June 2024. The Boeing Company engages Honeywell for inertial systems on JDAM SABR-Y tail kits, Small Diameter Bomb Increment I (SDB-I) M-Code systems, CH-47 aircraft, and B-21 lab integration assets, with tasks dating to May 2025. Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation subcontracts Honeywell for Stand-in Attack Weapon (SIAW) Phase 2 navigation and guidance systems. L3 Technologies, Dynetics, Alliant Techsystems Operations, and Lockheed Martin also place recurring sub tasks for inertial measurement assembly, system development and test, and missile component work.

Honeywell's award portfolio concentrates in aerospace guidance and navigation systems. The top NAICS categories are Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing (436 awards), Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (313 awards), Bare Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing (103 awards), Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing (57 awards), and Current-Carrying Wiring Device Manufacturing (44 awards). The top PSC codes are Radar Equipment, Airborne (287 awards), Electrical and Electronic Assemblies, Boards, Cards, and Associated Hardware (255 awards), Automatic Pilot Mechanisms and Airborne Gyro Components (149 awards), Miscellaneous Aircraft Accessories and Components (117 awards), and Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Communication, Detection, and Coherent Radiation Equipment (102 awards).

Award activity has grown year over year from 18 awards in 2022 to 38 in 2024, with 25 awards in 2025 and 5 awards to date in 2026 (through May). Only two awards with combined potential value of $11.3 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete cliff exposure through mid-2028. Combined potential value across 1,976 total awards (1,867 prime and 109 sub) stands at $598.2 million, with $1.1 billion in combined obligated dollars across all awards—reflecting mature, high-velocity production and sustainment contracting across multiple indefinite delivery vehicles serving the full spectrum of Navy, Army, and Air Force aerial platforms and guided missile systems.
