Northrop Grumman Systems Corp

Northrop Grumman Systems Corp, doing business as Warner Robins Regional Support Center, is a subsidiary of Northrop Grumman Corporation that repairs and maintains sophisticated electronic warfare, navigation, and infrared countermeasure systems for military aircraft as a prime contractor on full-and-open federal repair and sustainment contracts. The company operates without SBA set-aside designations, competing as an established large business across multiple Air Force, Navy, and Coast Guard programs centered on the Warner Robins, Georgia facility.

The vendor's core capability portfolio centers on repair and sustainment of specialized airborne electronic systems: Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures (LAIRCM) AAQ-24 systems, AN/APN navigation radars applicable to C-130 aircraft, AN/ALQ-series electronic warfare systems (ALQ-155, ALQ-161, ALQ-184), and related components including laser transmitter assemblies, receiver-transmitter processors, and circuit card assemblies. Representative work includes a $975.3 million single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Air Force Sustainment Center for LAIRCM AAQ-24 repairs through February 2032; a $45.5 million IDC for receiver-transmitter processor production through December 2027; a $55.9 million contract for AN/ALQ-135 Tactical Electronic Warfare System sustainment supporting the Royal Saudi Air Force through September 2029; and a $41.2 million contract for Common Munitions Built-In Test Reprogramming Equipment (CMBRE) logistics support through April 2031. The vendor also holds a $980 million 10-year Automatic Test Systems Acquisition-I (ATSA-I) multiple-award vehicle awarded in September 2025 supporting lifecycle management of automatic test equipment across Air Force platforms.

Customer concentration is extreme and skewed to the Air Force Sustainment Center. The top five funding agencies account for 97% of combined potential value. The Air Force Sustainment Center alone funds 256 awards (40% of the prime footprint) worth $4.98 billion in combined potential value, dominating both award count and dollar magnitude. The Air Force Materiel Command (non-Sustainment Center components) accounts for 43 awards worth $1.03 billion; the Naval Supply Systems Command, 16 awards worth $158.9 million; and the U.S. Coast Guard, 38 awards worth $33.8 million. The divergence between award count and dollar rankings is modest—the Sustainment Center's dominance spans both volume and value—but the Coast Guard and Navy place numerous smaller repair orders while Air Force Sustainment Center orders carry much higher ceilings.

The vendor places the vast majority of its federal repair work under five named indefinite delivery contracts: an IDC valued at $581.9 million under contract FA852218D0002 (121 task orders), an IDC worth $392.5 million under FA853912D0003 (74 task orders), an IDC for $448.5 million under FA852215D0011 (56 task orders), an IDC for $152.3 million under FA853816D0014 (48 task orders), and an IDC for $224.1 million under FA852224D0004 (36 task orders). These vehicles establish the vendor as a long-standing provider of repair and sustainment services across multiple Air Force platforms and foreign military sales programs.

Activity has remained steady to growing over the past five years: 51 awards in 2022, 26 in 2023, 36 in 2024, 47 in 2025, and 11 awards through May 2026. Within the next twenty-four months, 24 awards carrying combined potential value of $147.3 million reach ultimate completion and face recompete exposure. The $6.47 billion combined potential value across the 637-award portfolio is concentrated in repair and sustainment work; obligated dollars total $1.78 billion, or 28% of potential value.

SCI-reported federal service contract invoicing totals $76.2 million across fiscal years 2022–2024 (FY2022: $39.4 million, FY2023: $30.4 million, FY2024: $6.4 million), reflecting a sharp decline in FY2024 that suggests incomplete year-end data or contract wind-down. The vendor delivered roughly 107 FTEs in FY2022, 59.4 FTEs in FY2023, and 1.0 FTE in FY2024 on SCI-reportable contracts. These FTE figures and invoiced amounts are a strict subset of the vendor's total federal services revenue and do not represent company-wide activity. Hourly rate posture on federal services contracts spans a wide spectrum: the median government-paid rate ran around $238/hr, with junior labor priced near $40/hr and specialized senior technical roles commanding rates through $5,200/hr. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, the vendor performed essentially all labor internally, with 0% sub-hours share.

The vendor operates predominantly as a prime contractor (97% of awards) and builds its own delivery teams rather than relying on subcontractors at scale. On subcontract work, Northrop Grumman Systems Corp subcontracts to Lockheed Martin (delivering C-130J antenna and radar test pod components under production contracts) and The Boeing Company (Japan KC-46A major structures). The prime footprint shows no material teaming with other major primes; subcontract work represents 3% of recent awards.

NAICS concentration reflects the vendor's electronics repair mission: Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing (294 awards), Other Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance (137 awards), and Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (48 awards) dominate. PSC coding emphasizes maintenance and repair of electrical-electronic components (150 awards), communication and detection equipment (93 awards), and radar systems (55 awards), with secondary strength in electronic countermeasures and quick-reaction capability work (39 awards).
