Lockheed Martin awarded $220.74M Navy contract modification

Lockheed Martin was awarded a $220.74M modification to a cost-plus-fixed-fee, firm-fixed-price order against a previously issued basic ordering agreement. This modification exercises options to support calendar year 2024 modification and retrofit activities for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program to include program management, non-recurring engineering, aircraft induction, contractor field, depot site, and laser shock peening site support. Additionally, this modification adds scope for the procurement of material kits as well as special tooling and test equipment necessary to support F-35 Joint Strike Fighter aircraft retrofit and modification efforts for the Air Force, Marines, Navy, Foreign Military Sales (FMS) customers, and non-U.S. Department of Defense, or DOD, participants. Work is expected to be completed in January 2026. Naval Air Systems Command is the contracting activity.
