The Coast Guard on Feb. 16, 2018, awarded an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract to Northrop Grumman Corp. of Falls Church, Virginia, and exercised the base-year option for spare radar equipment to support its C-27J Spartan medium range surveillance aircraft. The contract has a potential value of approximately $3.7 million if both option years are exercised.
