Lockheed Martin Space has been awarded an $18.8 million contract modification for continued work on the Navy’s Trident II (D5) Life Extension 2 program, with the largest share of work to be performed in Huntsville.
The $18,867,588 cost-plus-fixed-fee modification supports the Trident II (D5) Strategic Systems Programs Alteration Advanced Design and Development Program efforts. The contract action modifies a previously awarded agreement and is funded with fiscal 2026 Navy weapons procurement dollars. Officials said none of the funds will expire at the end of the current fiscal year.
According to the Department of Defense announcement, the majority of work (30%) will be performed in Huntsville with additional work spread across multiple locations including Denver, Colorado; Gilroy, California; Folsom, California; McDonald, Tennessee; Palo Alto and Sunnyvale, California; Lanham, Maryland; and Titusville, Florida. The contract is expected to run through Aug. 30, 2030.
The award was issued on a sole-source basis under federal procurement law, with one proposal received after being synopsized on the System for Award Management website.
The Navy’s Strategic Systems Programs office in Washington, D.C., is the contracting activity.
The Trident II (D5) missile is the sea-based leg of the nation’s strategic nuclear deterrent, and the Life Extension 2 program is intended to ensure the system remains operational and reliable for years to come.
