Honeywell International has received a $23.2 million Navy job order to provide integrated-circuit factory equipment and sustainment support for strategic radiation-hardened microelectronics.
The firm-fixed-price order was issued to Honeywell’s Plymouth, Minnesota, operation under a previously established basic ordering agreement identified as N0016423GGM75. The resulting job order carries contract number N0016427FG003.
Honeywell will perform the work in Plymouth, with completion expected by January 2028. The order does not contain option periods, making the stated $23.2 million value the amount associated with the defined equipment and support requirement rather than a potential value dependent upon future option exercises.
The Navy will obligate the full $23.2 million at the time of award using fiscal 2025 Title III funding. Title III authorities are commonly used to strengthen domestic industrial capabilities considered important to national defense.
The equipment will support the production of radiation-hardened microelectronics, which are designed to continue functioning in environments involving ionizing radiation. Such components are important for strategic military systems, space platforms, missiles, and other applications where conventional commercial electronics could be vulnerable to radiation-induced failure.
The job order was awarded on a sole-source basis under a federal statutory authority permitting the government to maintain an industrial facility, producer, manufacturer, or supplier that must remain available for a national emergency or industrial mobilization.
This procurement method reflects the specialized nature of the manufacturing capability and the government’s interest in preserving a reliable domestic source. The announcement does not indicate that other companies competed for the individual order.
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division in Crane, Indiana, is the contracting activity. The organization supports electronic warfare, strategic missions, and expeditionary warfare systems, including the technologies and industrial capabilities required to sustain them.
Honeywell’s work will encompass both factory equipment and sustainment support, indicating that the order addresses not only the acquisition or modernization of production machinery but also the continuing capability to operate and maintain it through the performance period.
