Northrop-Grumman Space and Mission in Clearfield, UT received a $5.9 million cost-plus award-fee contract modification to ensure that the USA’s Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Reentry Vehicles (which carry nuclear warheads) remain functional until retirement and that an industrial base exists to support replacement follow-on systems. Negotiations were completed March 2005, and work will be complete by June 2007. The Headquarters Ogden Air Logistics Center issued the contract (F42610-98-C-0001).
