# Lockheed Martin Expands Munitions Production

Lockheed Martin plans to invest up to $9 billion across its supply chain and production ecosystem over the coming years to expand munitions capacity, reduce manufacturing bottlenecks, and strengthen supplier resilience. The initiative could create opportunities for small and mid-sized manufacturers, but no solicitation, application process, contract award, or procurement contact has been identified. Suppliers should track Lockheed Martin supplier announcements and related U.S. Department of Defense procurement activity for concrete opportunities.

- The planned investment targets munitions production capacity and supply-chain constraints; manufacturers with relevant capabilities may find opportunities as Lockheed Martin expands its supplier ecosystem.
- This is a company investment strategy, not a government contract announcement. No funding amount for a specific procurement, award timeline, or application deadline is provided.
- Businesses can use the announcement to assess their fit as potential suppliers and follow Lockheed Martin supplier announcements and related DoD procurement activity for specific openings.
