Northrop Grumman wins DESP II contract

Issue No. 3 | February 01-15, 2012

The US Air Force has awarded Northrop Grumman Corporation an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract for its Design and Engineering Support Programme (DESP III). Northrop Grumman is one of 26 companies to receive awards under the contract, which has an overall ceiling valued at $1.9 billion.

The DESP III contract is specifically established with Air Force Material Command, but it may be used by all Department of Defense (DoD) agencies.

“Our sustained performance and innovative logistics coupled with more than 20 years of supporting earlier versions of this contract were paramount in our selection for one of the DESP III awards,” said David Gustafson, DESP III Programme Manager, Northrop Grumman Technical Services.

Under the DESP III contract, Northrop Grumman will compete for individual task orders focused on improving life cycle costs, operational life, performance and sustainment of DoD weapon systems. The contract vehicle has a seven-year period of performance.
