- LYME will deliver Siemens RUGGEDCOM networking hardware and components
- NSWC Philadelphia competed the contract among authorized small business resellers
- The contract has an expected completion date of October 2033
LYME Technology Solutions has received a seven-year, $27.3 million contract from the Naval Surface Warfare Center Philadelphia Division, or NSWC PD, to supply commercial, industrial-grade networking equipment designed to operate in demanding conditions.
What Is the Scope of the Siemens RUGGEDCOM Contract?
The New Hampshire-based company said Thursday the indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract covers the delivery of Siemens RUGGEDCOM network switching hardware and related components. The procurement for the single-award, firm-fixed-price contract was restricted to authorized Siemens RUGGEDCOM resellers that qualify as small businesses, with two companies submitting offers, HigherGov reported.
Work will take place at LYME’s facility in Lebanon and is scheduled to wrap up by October 2033. The first task order will draw on fiscal 2026 Navy other procurement funds, with additional money to be released as individual orders are placed.
What Did CEO Andrew Sullivan Say About the Contract?
LYME CEO Andrew Sullivan said the company considers its selection to support the Navy in highly demanding environments a responsibility it takes personally as a small business. He added that LYME is honored by the warfare center’s confidence and committed to being a worthy partner in its mission.
“For more than four decades, LYME’s mission has been simple: put technology people can trust in the hands of those who serve this country,” Sullivan said.
Sullivan was named chief executive of the company in December 2025 after serving as chief revenue officer for nearly five years. The executive helped restructure the business into verticals, which brought in more than $12 million in revenue from key vendor relationships in its first year. He also led the company’s sales process, account management and vendor relations, and grew LYME’s revenue from $100 million to $150 million through strategic partnerships with NetApp, Nutanix, HPE Aruba and Arista Networks.
What Is LYME’s History With the RUGGEDCOM Requirement?
LYME held the predecessor RUGGEDCOM contract and was named as the incumbent in the Navy’s 2025 planning materials and a 2026 industry presentation. Both estimated the follow-on at between $7.5 million and $50 million.
Under the prior contract, the Navy placed a $1.8 million order for MX5000RE-CORE-1 equipment and bought $1.2 million and $983,000 worth of material supporting network equipment on LPD-17 and LPD-33, respectively. The new award notice does not tie the contract to any ship or installation.
NSWC PD provides engineering and lifecycle support for machinery controls and mission-critical networks aboard surface ships.
