Northrop Grumman“™s Sperry Marine business unit has won a $19.6M firm-fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract from the U.S. Navy to deliver electronic navigation systems and associated radar components.
Sperry Marine, operating under Northrop“™s electronic systems segment, is tasked to provide electronic chart display information systems as well as X-band and S-band radar units as part of efforts to replace and standardize the Military Sealift Command“™s navigation platforms, the Defense Department said Monday.
ECDIS is a computer-based navigational chart system that uses automated technology, sensors and radars to provide real-time visualizations of a naval vessel“™s current location.
MSC received six proposals for the contract via FedBizOpps and will obligate the Navy“™s fiscal 2018 working capital funds upon issuance of each individual order under the competitively procured contract.
The command will also obligate $3.5K from working capital funds to cover the minimum guarantee.
Work will take place in Harvey, La. through Sept. 9, 2023.
