Collins Elbit Vision Systems, LLC

Collins Elbit Vision Systems, LLC Joint Strike Fighter Division, operating as CEVS JSF, manufactures and services helmet-mounted display (HMD) units and related avionics components for the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter program as a subcontractor to Lockheed Martin Corporation and as a prime on single-award Naval Air Systems Command vehicles. The vendor is a subsidiary of Rockwell Collins, Inc. (now RTX Corp via parent ownership), headquartered in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, with primary operations and place of performance in Wilsonville, Oregon.

CEVS JSF's federal footprint is dominated by F-35 program work under Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR). The vendor holds a $585 million single-award indefinite-delivery contract (LOT 18-19 F-35 HMD, ultimate completion March 31, 2027) awarded March 31, 2026, covering helmet-mounted display units, visors, masks, helmet components, software updates, and associated equipment. A $70.89 million firm fixed-price delivery order under LOT 18 GEN 3 HMD was awarded April 7, 2026, with completion targeted for May 31, 2028. In its subcontractor role under Lockheed Martin, CEVS JSF performs the majority of its work — 846 of 849 total awards in the source data are sub-awards, all to Lockheed Martin except for two deliveries to URS Federal Services, Inc. and one to Techna-Graphics, Inc. The sub-awards span production, sustainment, and configuration management of Generation III and OLED Generation III helmet display units, helmet transmission units, helmet visor assemblies, and depot repair capability development. Representative sub-awards include production of multiple Generation III HDU variants by serial number (awarded August 2024 through February 2025), DMCH Phase configuration management and testing (awarded January and August 2024), and depot training and repair demonstration work (awarded January 2025). Sub-awards also include international partner and Foreign Military Sales customer support, with modifications for Australia, UK deployment clin funding, and FMS customer long-lead items.

NAVAIR concentration is absolute: 843 of 849 awards ($664.9 million combined potential value) flow through Naval Air Systems Command, with the remaining six awards split across the Department of Navy, the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, the Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center, and the Defense Logistics Agency. The F-35 program accounts for 844 of 849 awards classified under Aircraft Manufacturing (NAICS 336411). Activity spiked in 2023 (498 awards) before declining to 230 awards in 2024 and 26 in 2025, reflecting the production and sustainment cadence of the F-35 program. Two awards with combined potential value of $79.9 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure. The vendor operates in full-and-open competition on NAVAIR vehicles with no set-asides applied to recent prime contracts or sub-awards.
