Lockheed Martin is a Bethesda, Maryland–based defense contractor, with upstate New York manufacturing plants in Salina and Owego.
The firm’s employees in Salina will perform most of the work on this contract, while Lockheed workers in Lansdale, Pennsylvania will handle about 20 percent of the work, per the DOD website. The Navy expects the defense contractor to finish work on the contract by April 2022.
This pact includes options, which if exercised would bring the cumulative value of the contract to more than $812 million and would be completed by September 2026 — if all options are exercised.
