# Navy Awards Lockheed $114.6M F-35 Order

On October 23, 2026, the U.S. Navy awarded Lockheed Martin a fully funded, noncompetitive $114.6 million order to redesign obsolete components in the F-35 GPS electronic unit and NAV100 Inertial Navigation System. Work is expected to continue through January 2030 and supports F-35 production and sustainment. Because the order was not competed, the prime award is not an open bidding opportunity, but suppliers with relevant engineering, integration, qualification, and testing capabilities may find subcontracting opportunities.

- The scope centers on redesigning navigation-system components, with work extending through January 2030.
- Suppliers can assess whether their engineering, integration, qualification, or testing capabilities align with potential subcontracting needs supporting Lockheed Martin’s work.
- The order is fully funded at award; the signal does not identify a separate solicitation, contract number, or direct supplier contact.
