A new federal contract modification worth more than $83 million will bring additional work to Lockheed Martin‘s growing missile production operations in Courtland, further strengthening North Alabama’s role in next-generation defense programs.

The U.S. Navy awarded Lockheed Martin Space an $83.2 million contract modification to procure additional All Up Rounds for the Army under the Navy’s Conventional Prompt Strike program, according to a Department of Defense contract announcement.

While the majority of the work will be performed in Colorado and Utah, Courtland will account for 14% of the contract effort, making it one of the largest production sites involved in the program. Work is expected to continue through June 2029.

Under the contract, work will be performed in Denver, Colorado (31%), Magna, Utah (26%), Courtland (14%), Simsbury, Connecticut (10%), East Aurora and Owego, New York (14% combined), Sunnyvale, California (2%), and other locations.

The award adds to Lockheed Martin’s expanding presence in Courtland, where the company recently opened its new 88,000-square-foot Missile Assembly Building 5. The facility was built to support production of the Next Generation Interceptor for the Missile Defense Agency as part of the nation’s evolving missile defense architecture.

The latest award was issued as a sole-source acquisition through Strategic Systems Programs in Washington, D.C. Nearly $79.3 million in Army missile procurement funds were obligated at the time of award.
