Requirements will be delivered to the U.S. Air Force through Dec. 31, 2028, the Department of Defense said Wednesday.
The firm‐fixed‐price, sole-source contract has a five-year base period and one five-year option period. Northrop will perform work in Oklahoma.
DLA Aviation, which serves as the contracting activity, will use defense working capital funds for fiscal 2024 through 2029 to cover for the acquisition.
