Contract Deobligations Alert — August 04, 2026

Lockheed Martin's Sikorsky Aircraft secured a $249.2 million sole-source, firm-fixed-price delivery order from the Coast Guard for H-60 hulls and non-recurring engineering, with performance through 2028. The non-competitive award signals a durable competitive moat in the Coast Guard rotary-wing fleet modernization.

The $249.2 million firm-fixed-price contract includes non-recurring engineering for H-60 new hulls, which carries medium execution risk if development costs exceed estimates. Lockheed Martin must absorb overruns on fixed-price development work.

As a Department of Homeland Security (Coast Guard) contract awarded in January 2021, the multi-year funding stream is vulnerable to continuing resolution disruptions or Coast Guard budget reallocations in future fiscal years.

Sikorsky's sole-source position on the H-60 hull program creates a platform for follow-on delivery orders and sustainment contracts beyond the initial 25 hulls, potentially expanding Lockheed Martin's Coast Guard revenue stream.

The $249.2 million H-60 hull award underscores sustained Coast Guard investment in rotary-wing aircraft for homeland security missions, with Sikorsky as the incumbent sole-source provider. This theme supports Lockheed Martin's defense-adjacent civilian revenue base.
