Raytheon Company

Raytheon Company's Advanced Products & Solutions Division, operating as Raytheon Co and its subsidiaries, is a major defense contractor that designs, develops, and manufactures advanced electronics, photonic integrated circuits, radar systems, and signal processing technologies for the Department of Defense, federal research agencies, and international customers as a prime contractor on full-and-open competitive awards with no SBA set-aside participation.

Raytheon Advanced Products & Solutions is a subsidiary of RTX Corporation (formerly Raytheon Technologies), headquartered in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, and classifies primarily under NAICS 541712 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences except Biotechnology) and PSC codes for R&D in defense electronics and radar systems. The division competes exclusively as a large business prime contractor; the source shows 372 prime awards (96% of the footprint) and only 14 sub awards (4%), with SCI reporting showing negligible federal service-contract invoicing and minimal FTE trajectory, indicating that Raytheon's revenue model centers on R&D contracts, product sales, and systems integration rather than labor-intensive service contracts above the $150,000 SCI threshold.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Navy. The top five customer agencies by potential value account for 90% of combined award value: Naval Sea Systems Command leads with 50 awards worth $11.29 billion in combined potential value, followed by Army Space and Missile Defense Command ($2.88 billion across 4 awards), the Secretary of the Navy Office of Naval Research ($2.21 billion across 56 awards), PEO Missiles and Space ($1.89 billion across 8 awards), and DARPA ($288.8 million across 40 awards). By award count, Naval Sea Systems Command and Office of Naval Research together represent 106 of the 250 Navy awards in the portfolio. This concentration reflects Raytheon's dominance in radar modernization, mission systems sustainment, and advanced RF and photonic research for naval platforms.

Raytheon holds positions on multiple Navy and DoD IDIQs and basic ordering agreements. The largest parent vehicle is Basic Ordering Agreement N0002418G5501, which has generated 13 task orders worth $159.3 million combined potential value; an Indefinite Delivery Contract N6133114D0029 carries 10 task orders worth $5.8 million; and Basic Ordering Agreement N0002414G5333 has 9 task orders valued at $45.1 million. These vehicles are the operational conduit through which Naval Sea Systems Command and Naval Information Warfare Systems Command issue incremental task orders for engineering design model support, combat system modernization, and radar sustainment work.

Recent major awards exemplify Raytheon's portfolio breadth. A $694.9 million firm fixed-price definitive contract from PEO Missiles and Space (November 2025) covers Taiwan NASAMS 3 lot procurement through February 2034, while a $440.6 million cost-plus-fixed-fee contract from Naval Sea Systems Command (September 2022) supports design agent and technical engineering for the Dual Band Radar system (AN/SPY-3 and AN/SPY-4 variants) through November 2029. A $1.681 billion cost-plus-incentive contract also from Naval Sea Systems Command (April 2022) underwrites DDG 1000 Zumwalt-class mission systems and Total Ship Computing Environment Infrastructure support through April 2027. On the research side, Raytheon received a $42.998 million cost-plus-fixed-fee award from Office of Naval Research (July 2024) for enhanced radar signal processing (RASP) capabilities for SPY-6 family radars, a $27.1 million cost-plus-fixed-fee contract for the Birdseye Yonder ultra-wideband passive geolocation and SIGINT system (December 2023), and a $46.3 million cost-plus-fixed-fee ASPIRE (Agnostic Signal Processing and Increased Radar Efficiency) contract (April 2022). DARPA work includes a $10.133 million Other Transaction Agreement for the PULLING GUARD effort (December 2025), a $5.35 million cost-plus-fixed-fee contract for Ultra-Wide BandGap Semiconductors (UWBGS) materials development (August 2024), and a $7.32 million cost-plus-fixed-fee contract for the HAPPI (Heterogenous Adaptively Produced Photonic Interfaces) program advancing 3D optical routing in integrated photonics (March 2025). These awards span weapons system sustainment, combat systems modernization, advanced materials research, photonic integration, and RF filter development.

Award activity has fluctuated: the source shows 20 awards in 2022, 11 in 2023, 16 in 2024, and 13 in 2025, with only 2 awards recorded through February 2026. Twenty-two awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $3.15 billion, representing near-term recompete exposure concentrated in Naval Sea Systems Command vehicle task orders and Army Space and Missile Defense Command contracts.

Raytheon's subcontractor strategy shows selective engagement with specialized materials, component, and manufacturing partners rather than broad teaming. On the DARPA Ultra-Wide BandGap program (August 2024), Raytheon engaged Hexatech Inc. (aluminum nitride substrates), Crystal IS Inc. (wide bandgap materials), Element Six Technologies (synthetic diamond supermaterials), and the University of Florida and Michigan State University (academic research support). On the Naval Sea Systems Command RASP radar signal processing contract (July 2024), prime subcontractors include Sanmina Corporation (printed wiring boards), Dell Federal Systems (server hardware), K&L Microwave (filters and multiplexers), Knowles Cazenovia (filters), Ophir RF (power amplifiers), Samtec (fiber optic assemblies), and electronics distributors Digi-Key, Mouser, and Huber+Suhner. On the Qatar Air Operation Center upgrade contract (August 2025, $66.5 million), Raytheon assembled a multi-vendor team including Advanced Simulation Technology Inc., Frequentist Defense Inc., Ultra Electronics Advanced Tactical Systems, MAK Technologies, Carahsoft Technology, Parsons Government Services, Sterling Computers (a women-owned small business), Dell Federal Systems, HPE, Govsmart Inc. (HUBZone-certified), TD Synnex, and Tvar Solutions. Across the sub awards, Raytheon also works as a subcontractor to Booz Allen Hamilton on FPGA assured synthesis and analysis tasks (September 2024), to Parsons Government Services on infrastructure services (December 2024), and to Systems & Technology Research on Joint All-Domain Warfighting algorithm development.

The corporate structure shows Raytheon Company as parent with Solipsys Corporation named as a subsidiary, though the source does not elaborate on Solipsys's role or capabilities. Raytheon does not hold SBA certifications as 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, or other set-aside categories; the firm competes as a large business across the full federal contracting landscape.
