Lockheed Martin Corporation

Lockheed Martin Corporation's Rotary and Mission Systems Division manufactures radar systems, electronic warfare subsystems, and specialized electronic and mechanical components for naval, air force, and army platforms as a prime contractor on full-and-open federal awards with no set-aside designations. The RMS Division is a child entity within Lockheed Martin Corporation, a publicly traded defense contractor headquartered in Maryland, and operates as a large business across primary NAICS categories that include aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing (874 awards), bare printed circuit board manufacturing (552 awards), and search and detection system instrument manufacturing (384 awards).

The RMS Division's customer base concentrates heavily on naval logistics and combat systems commands. Naval Supply Systems Command leads by award count at 1,477 awards totaling $342.7 million combined potential value, followed by Defense Logistics Agency Aviation with 969 awards at $152.5 million. By dollar magnitude, Naval Sea Systems Command dominates at $9.82 billion across 131 awards—representing the single largest customer concentration—followed by the Army's PEO Missiles and Space at $9.22 billion across 36 awards and Army Materiel Command at $8.15 billion across 17 awards. The top five customers account for 83% of recent awards by count, though Naval Sea Systems Command's outsized potential value (37% of the portfolio's total combined potential value across all 46 agencies served) reveals a portfolio split between high-volume spare parts procurement from Naval Supply Systems Command and large system-level contracts from Naval Sea Systems Command.

The RMS Division competes predominantly as a prime contractor—90% of awards in the recent portfolio are prime contracts or IDIQs—with recurring work across full-and-open vehicles carrying no set-aside designations. Concrete representative prime work includes a $2.998 billion single-award IDIQ with PEO Missiles and Space (awarded June 30, 2026, ultimate completion June 29, 2031) for SENTINEL A4 Low Rate Initial Production 4 radar systems in Liverpool, New York, with a $317.1 million delivery order already placed on the same date; a $249 million single-award IDIQ with Naval Sea Systems Command (February 18, 2026, through February 17, 2031) for SEWIP Block 2 engineering services, spares, repairs, and depot stand-up; a $48.96 million delivery order from Naval Sea Systems Command (July 9, 2026) for Technical Insertion 24 AN/BLQ-10 electronic warfare shipsets and onboard replacement part kits; and a $202.8 million definitive contract with Naval Sea Systems Command (July 31, 2025) for multifunction modular mast production running through July 30, 2031. The division holds a $3.025 billion single-award IDIQ with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (April 24, 2026, through April 23, 2031) for expendable bathythermograph probes and accessories supporting oceanographic research missions.

Recent activity shows mixed trajectory. Awards per year grew from 128 in 2022 to 224 in 2025 but fell to 90 in 2026 (a snapshot year ending September 10, 2026). The recompete cliff exposes significant risk: 122 awards worth $5.04 billion combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete opportunity for competitors.

The RMS Division's vehicle footprint spans Naval Supply Systems Command's Indefinite Delivery Contract N0010409GA102 (282 task orders, $6.2 million combined potential value), Basic Ordering Agreement N0038322GS501 (167 task orders), Basic Ordering Agreement SPRPA113G001Y (138 task orders, $29.8 million), Basic Ordering Agreement SPE4A123G0025 (91 task orders, $32.3 million), and Indefinite Delivery Contract N0038311D006N (84 task orders, $36.6 million). These vehicles anchor routine component procurement across the naval supply chain.

On the subcontractor side, the RMS Division subcontracts to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation as the predominant prime, delivering phased array modules, pre-amplifiers, delay line assemblies, high-voltage power supplies, and electronic warfare components for search, detection, navigation, and aeronautical systems manufacturing. Recent sub awards under Northrop Grumman (spanning August 2026 back to January 2026) show consistent engagement on PAM (phased array module) aircraft material subsystems, 2-channel pre-amplifier radar systems, and range/delay line components supporting airborne radar platforms. A small number of other named subcontractors appear in the source, but Northrop Grumman represents the dominant prime-to-RMS relationship.

Service Contract Inventory captures limited view of RMS Division's federal services activity: SCI shows $21 million invoiced across FY2022–FY2025, with the spike in FY2023 ($19.5 million across 77.5 FTEs) and minimal activity thereafter. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts range from $34.09/hr at the 10th percentile to a median of $151.35/hr and $274.69/hr at the 90th percentile, reflecting a mix of entry-level fabrication labor and senior engineering support. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors represent approximately 10% of total contractor hours. SCI captures only service contracts above $150,000 and excludes the division's core goods production and repair work—the majority of RMS Division's federal revenue flows through product manufacturing, spare parts supply, and system integration contracts not required to report to SCI.

Place of performance centers on Liverpool, New York, with secondary facilities in Syracuse and Salina, New York, and Orlando and Virginia Beach, Florida, supporting naval, air force, and army platform sustainment across domestic and allied operations. The division maintains no small business set-asides, operates exclusively on full-and-open competitive or sole-source (FAR 6.302-1) authority where proprietary data rights prevent reverse engineering, and anchors its footprint to established relationships with Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Supply Systems Command, Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, and Air Force Materiel Command customers representing over 83% of recent award volume.
