Trimble Military And Advanced Systems, Inc.

Trimble Military and Advanced Systems, Inc. (doing business as Trimble Navigation) is a subsidiary of Trimble Inc. that manufactures military-grade GPS receivers, positioning and timing systems, circuit card assemblies, and navigation modules for the Department of Defense as a prime contractor (70% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor to major defense primes. The company operates in full-and-open competition with no set-aside posture, competing on commercial pricing and technical capability. Trimble Military is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, and classifies primarily under NAICS 334411 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing) and PSC 5840 (Radio Navigation Equipment, Except Airborne).

Trimble's federal footprint is anchored by a single strategic asset: an $18.022 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the U.S. Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) through April 2029 for M-Code GPS Precise Positioning System Force 5M, 27M, and 28M receivers. This IDC spawned 60 task orders across the portfolio and carries $46.8 million in combined potential value — 79% of all dollars in the recent award set. Representative prime work under the SMC IDC includes a $1.323 million delivery order for Force 5M receivers (June 2024), a $769.5 thousand delivery order for Israel (May 2025), and a $715.5 thousand Foreign Military Sales delivery order for Poland (August 2024). Beyond the SMC IDC, Trimble holds additional parent vehicles: Indefinite Delivery Contract FA857620D0001 (55 task orders, Army), Indefinite Delivery Contract FA880713D0017 (37 task orders, $6.8 million combined potential value), and an Indefinite Delivery Contract N0016412DGP50 with Naval Sea Systems Command (10 task orders, $3.2 million combined potential value). Secondary prime work includes Naval Supply Systems Command purchase orders for circuit card assemblies and coordinate receivers in recent months ($12 thousand to $24 thousand per order) and a $156.5 thousand sole-source testing and evaluation award from Naval Information Warfare Systems Command for GPNTS program support (September 2025).

Customer concentration is severe. The top customer — Air Force SMC — accounts for 116 awards and $46.8 million, or 79% of combined potential value. Army PEO Aviation follows with 55 awards (dollar value not disclosed separately). Navy accounts for significant volume across NAVSUP (17 awards, $409 thousand), Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (23 awards, $2.8 million), and Naval Sea Systems Command (10 awards, $6.6 million). Five customer agencies cover 97% of combined potential value; all five are DoD. Trimble faces minimal recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months (three awards totaling $756 thousand completing by July 2027), indicating a stable portfolio with long-duration parent vehicles extending through April 2029.

Trimble's subcontractor work is voluminous: 87 sub-awards (30% of the portfolio) flow primarily to Honeywell International, which is the prime on multiple Force 5M GPS embedded GPS/inertial navigation system (Eagle-M) platforms across Army, Navy, and Air Force. Trimble supplies M-Code GPS receiver components and modules to Honeywell under contracts supporting Eagle-M fielding, Apache helicopter upgrades, and enhanced aviation air traffic management systems. Northrop Grumman Systems is the second-largest prime customer, with sub-work on LN-251M radio/navigation modernization (PMA 209 NAVAIR), enterprise services, and global positioning major systems. L3Harris Technologies and Raytheon round out the tier-one prime set. The subcontractor profile underscores Trimble's role as a GPS technology supplier into platform integrators rather than a platform prime.

Award activity has accelerated sharply. One award in 2021, three in 2023, 31 in 2024, and 64 in 2025 reflect both the maturation of the SMC IDC (awarded April 2024) and integration into Honeywell's EAGLE-M production cadence. The portfolio carries $42 million in obligated dollars against $59.1 million in combined potential value (71% obligation rate), typical of multi-year DoD development and production work. The source lists 289 total awards spanning two decades, but the meaningful recent activity — the SMC IDC and Honeywell Eagle-M sub stream — originated in 2024. Trimble's competitive position rests on proprietary M-Code GPS receiver technology, manufacturing capacity in Sunnyvale, and established relationships with Air Force and Navy navigation modernization programs; the firm does not compete on GSA Schedule, GWAC, or civilian vehicle work.
