Lockheed Martin Corp. was awarded two Department of Defense contracts that together total $67.7 million, according to announcements from U.S. Navy contract offices. The awards cover production material for submarine electronic warfare systems and support to activate F-35 national air vehicle depots for foreign military sales customers.
The first award, issued by the Naval Sea Systems Command, is a not-to-exceed $44.6 million cost-plus-incentive-fee delivery order. It is designated for technical insertion-26 production material intended for submarine electronic warfare systems, and applies to both new construction and in-service submarines. The work locations and associated effort percentages are listed as Syracuse, New York (97%); La Mesa, Mexico (2%); and Orlando, Florida (1%). The contract lists an expected completion date of July 2029.
At the time of award the Navy obligated specific appropriations across fiscal years and budget categories: $8.97 million in fiscal 2026 shipbuilding and conversion funds, $5.78 million in fiscal 2026 other procurement funds, $4.49 million in fiscal 2025 shipbuilding and conversion funds, and $3.08 million in fiscal 2025 other procurement funds. The announced funding will not expire at the end of the current fiscal year.
The second award was made by the Naval Air Systems Command and is a $23.08 million cost-plus-fixed-fee order. That order covers engineering and technical services, depot activation support, and material lay-in to establish F-35 national air vehicle depots for foreign military sales customers. Explicitly identified support under this order includes depot maintenance activation plans for Finland and Switzerland, as well as depot activation services and initial induction material for the Republic of Korea.
Work on the F-35 depot activation order is divided across multiple locations with percentages of work noted: Fort Worth, Texas (68%); Cheongju, Korea (17%); Emmen, Switzerland (6%); Halli, Finland (6%); Seoul, Korea (2%); and Helsinki, Finland (1%). The contract lists expected completion by December 2028. The full $23.08 million in foreign military sales customer funds were obligated at the time of award.
Combined, the two orders amount to $67.68 million in new obligations to Lockheed Martin for defence production material and depot activation services. The published details specify tasking, funding sources and geographic distribution of the work, along with expected completion windows later this decade.
