Federal Contracts in Connecticut (CT)
Federal contracting in Connecticut
Connecticut's federal-contracting profile is dominated by naval shipbuilding at Electric Boat (Groton — the Navy's submarine prime) and helicopter manufacturing at Sikorsky (Stratford — Black Hawks, CH-53K, naval helicopters). U.S. Coast Guard Academy in New London plus Naval Submarine Base New London / Groton anchor maritime service presence. Pratt & Whitney (East Hartford) supplies F135 engines for the F-35 program. Department of Energy and EPA Region 1 have smaller footprints. The state's federal pipeline concentrates in the New London / Groton submarine ecosystem and the Stratford / Hartford aerospace corridor.
