About the company
Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation Defense Systems Division (doing business as Northrop Grumman IS) operates as a subcontractor on 67 percent of its federal awards, with concentrated work in missile defense systems engineering, air defense command and control hardware production, and ground-based midcourse defense sustainment — delivered predominantly to the Department of Defense's Missile Defense Agency and Army Program Executive Office for Missiles and Space. The vendor is a subsidiary of Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, a for-profit corporate entity headquartered in Falls Church, Virginia, with the Defense Systems Division operating from Huntsville, Alabama. No SBA set-aside designations apply to the vendor's federal footprint; all awards compete full and open.
The vendor's customer concentration is dominated by missile defense: the DOD Missile Defense Agency alone anchors 123 of 156 awards captured in the portfolio (96 percent coverage), accounting for $6.02 billion in combined potential value. Army's Program Executive Office Missiles and Space trails distantly with 10 awards carrying $4.8 billion combined potential value — a gap that reflects MDA's reliance on the vendor for research, development, and system integration across multiple threat domains (air, missile, space, cyber, hybrid) under the recently awarded $151 billion SHIELD (Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense) multiple-award IDIQ, which commenced December 29, 2025, with a decade-long ordering period through December 2035. The vendor also holds a $1.39 billion single-award Army IBCS (Integrated Battle Command System) production IDIQ through June 2027, under which recent delivery orders carry ceiling values of $899.6 million (WISLA Phase II full-rate production, awarded December 31, 2024), $285.6 million (LRIP/FRP, awarded May 10, 2024), and $6.39 million (Air Defense Reconfigurable Trainer, awarded June 28, 2024), plus a $78.426 million definitive contract for Poland FMS contractor logistics support and IBCS training (awarded March 28, 2025). A smaller $5.498 million Cost Plus Fixed Fee definitive contract from MDA in 2021 covered an all-digital dual-band radar system under the MDA Innovation, Science & Technology Broad Agency Announcement.
The vendor splits its footprint between prime and sub roles: 53 awards (33 percent) are primes — predominantly on the two army IDIQs and the new MDA SHIELD IDIQ — while 110 awards (67 percent) position Northrop Grumman as a named subcontractor. In the sub role, the vendor subcontracts to Boeing on ground-based midcourse defense development, sustainment, and systems integration work (accounting for the bulk of recent sub-award activity), and to Lockheed Martin on command and control battle management communications, software development, and operations and maintenance labor. Sub work to BAE Systems Land & Armaments involves armored multi-purpose vehicle procurement support. On its prime IBCS and FMS contracts, the vendor engages a deep industrial base: SCI Technology Inc. (communications and electronic components, Huntsville-based defense electronics), CDW Government LLC (power generation), Applied Companies (environmental control units, woman-owned small business), Sterling Computers Corporation (IT and communications equipment, women-owned small business), Spectrum Control Inc. Weinschel Division (RF/microwave and electronic components), The Captor Corporation (precision electronic components, veteran-owned small business), and numerous specialized suppliers across cable, fiber optic, mechanical, and electrical component manufacturing.
Activity surged in 2024 to 74 awards before moderating to 36 in 2025, with only one award recorded in 2026. The recompete window shows three awards reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $2.12 billion. Across all awards the vendor holds $11.16 billion in combined potential value with $5.51 billion (49 percent) obligated to date. The top five customer agencies by either count or dollars account for 96 to 100 percent of portfolio exposure, with MDA and Army PEO Missiles and Space together representing substantially all forward revenue. The vendor competes exclusively full and open, without set-aside designations, across NAICS categories anchored by research and development in physical and engineering sciences (62 awards) and custom computer programming services (31 awards). SCI-reported activity is minimal — two records covering FY2022–FY2024 — with 69.6 FTEs recorded in FY2022 and 166 FTEs in FY2024 on named sub records, reflecting limited exposure to the $150,000-and-above service contract reporting threshold relative to the vendor's substantial classified and production-oriented prime workload.
