Northrop Grumman Italia S.p.a

Northrop Grumman Italia S.p.a, a wholly owned subsidiary of Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, performs depot-level maintenance, test, inspection, calibration, and repair services for military electronic navigation and communications components as a full-and-open prime contractor to the Department of Defense, with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint. The firm is incorporated and headquartered in Pomezia, Italy (Via Pontina, Km 27,500, 00071 Pomezia RM), operates as a for-profit manufacturer of goods and aerospace defense equipment, and competes in the full-and-open market without small business set-asides.

Northrop Grumman Italia's federal work centers on two capability areas. First, it provides depot-level sustainment, repair, and calibration for Attitude and Heading Reference Units (AHRU) and Control Units used in military aviation platforms, particularly the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter. Representative work includes a $3.48 million firm-fixed-price delivery order from the Army Communications Electronics Command in 2022 for test, inspection, and repair of AHRU CN-1716/A and C-12712/A components; a $5.98 million CECOM delivery order in 2021 for the same work; and a $3.81 million CECOM delivery order in 2023 for test equipment calibration services through June 2027. Second, it procures and supplies specialized components and cable assemblies for military systems — a $475,770 purchase order from the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation in 2024 for 50 units of cable assemblies (NSN 5995151793265), and ongoing spare-parts and equipment provisioning work. The firm performs the majority of work in Italy, with select sustainment and calibration activities conducted at U.S. Army facilities.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed to a single Army organization. The Army Communications Electronics Command accounts for 35 of 60 awards (58% of the portfolio) and $181.6 million of $244.1 million combined potential value — 74% of the entire federal footprint. The Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground is the second customer at 6 awards ($59.9 million potential value, 25% of portfolio dollars), and the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation places 16 awards ($1.5 million combined potential value) for cable assemblies and spare parts. Three other agencies (Army PEO Aviation, Department of the Navy, and DLA Troop Support) account for the remaining 2% of volume and dollars. This concentration reflects Northrop Grumman Italia's role as the sole provider under multiple Army single-award indefinite delivery contracts.

Parent vehicles are Army IDCs rather than government-wide acquisition contracts or multiple-award schedules. The firm executes task orders under four primary IDCs: Indefinite Delivery Contract W15P7T14DE007 (13 task orders, $33.9 million combined potential value), W15P7T08DF005 (11 task orders, $71.7 million combined potential value), W56JSR21D0006 (7 task orders, $17.6 million combined potential value), and SPRBL118D0019 (6 task orders, $4.7 million combined potential value). These are single-award vehicles held exclusively by Northrop Grumman Italia; no competitive GWACs, GSA Schedules, or multi-vendor platforms are present in the footprint.

Award activity has been volatile but remains substantial in dollar terms. The firm received 4 awards in 2021 and 3 in 2022, then declined to 1 award in 2023, recovered to 3 in 2024, and received 1 award in 2025 (most recent November 25, 2025). However, combined potential value across all 60 awards totals $244.1 million, with $131.2 million already obligated. In the next twenty-four months, 4 awards carrying combined potential value of $11.3 million reach ultimate completion, creating modest recompete exposure on both CECOM and Army Aberdeen Proving Ground task order vehicles.

Service Contract Inventory captures minimal activity — $256 thousand in invoiced federal services revenue in FY2022 across 0.2 FTEs. SCI reporting excludes goods procurement, spare parts, and component manufacturing, which dominate Northrop Grumman Italia's actual federal footprint. The $586.51 per-hour rate in SCI records reflects specialized engineering labor for calibration and test work. Northrop Grumman Italia operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontracted work in the federal record; the firm builds and delivers its own technical capacity rather than acting as a prime integrator for subcontractors.
