About International Business Machines Corp
IBM's Global Business Services Division operates as a subcontractor on federal research and development awards, delivering electronic computer manufacturing and radar component assembly to the Department of the Navy and the Department of the Air Force through prime relationships with Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation and Lockheed Martin Corporation. IBM is a for-profit corporate entity based in Williston, Vermont, and does not hold SBA set-aside certifications; it competes in full-and-open procurement and operates predominantly in the defense industrial base, not as a prime contractor on federal vehicles.
The vendor's recent federal activity is sparse and specialized. Eight total awards span from 1994 to February 2026, with the last four years showing two awards in 2024, four in 2025, and one in 2026, for a combined $861 thousand obligated across all awards. This activity is concentrated in two prime-contractor relationships: Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (four recent sub awards for multi-chip manufacturing and DARPA research projects, all dated between October 2025 and February 2026) and Lockheed Martin Corporation (three sub awards for digitally expanded UHF MIMO optimized radar (DEUMOR) transmit-receive module assembly and components, spanning April 2024 through February 2025). The source data captures 87% of awards as sub-awards and only 13% as prime, reflecting IBM's role as a supplier to major defense integrators rather than as a federal prime.
Customer concentration sits entirely with the Department of the Navy's Office of Naval Research and the Secretary of the Navy (five awards), the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory (two awards), and the Department of Commerce National Institute of Standards and Technology (one award). All seven named research and development awards fall under NAICS 541712 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), anchoring IBM's federal footprint to advanced manufacturing and materials research rather than to services or IT delivery.
Service Contract Inventory reporting is minimal: three records from FY2022 show 2.2 FTEs delivered as a named subcontractor, reflecting the heavily goods-oriented and classified nature of IBM's defense manufacturing work. The SCI dataset captures only service-contract activity above the $150,000 threshold and excludes products, goods, and classified work — IBM's hardware manufacturing and component assembly fall outside this scope, meaning SCI figures do not represent the vendor's actual federal manufacturing or product revenue footprint.
