Northrop Grumman Corp. was recently awarded a contract potentially valued at $100 M to provide Anti-Terrorism Force Protection (ATFP) systems and capabilities to Navy installations around the world. The contract was awarded by the US Naval Facilities Engineering Command.
Under the terms of the five-year, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract, Northrop Grumman will utilize a total systems engineering approach to develop, install, integrate, test and support the fielding of software and hardware that will automate and improve the security and advance warning posture of Navy shore installations worldwide.
This contract will emphasize state-of-the-art solutions to meet the requirements for physical security; access control; emergency management; chemical, biological and nuclear protection; and command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance. Contracts were awarded March 14 to Northrop Grumman and three other companies.
Each company will compete for task orders that have potential overall value of $100 M for each company if all options are exercised. “This contract reinforces Northrop Grumman’s already strong position in strategic homeland defense, validates our innovative systems engineering and integration approach and complements our growing set of solutions to protect naval forces and civilians against terrorists threats worldwide,” said Zach Parker, ATFP capture manager for Northrop Grumman.
The contract includes one base-year and four one-year options with an expected completion date of March 2012, if all options are exercised. Work will be performed at Navy stations worldwide. Northrop Grumman will base its operations from the Washington Navy Yard, Washington, and the Naval Base Ventura County, Camarillo, CA.
