Boeing Lands Five DoD Contracts

By Jake Meister | December 1, 2015

Boeing was arguably the biggest winner of the United States Department of Defense’s (DoD) Monday digest of labor contracts, landing four Navy and one Air Force deals.

At $134 million, the Air Force contract was by far the most lucrative that Boeing received. With the deal, the company will be tasked with providing sustainment support for the E-4B Advanced Airborne Command Post fleet. The support includes aircraft depot maintenance, engine maintenance and overhauls, supply chain management, and program management. More than $13 million in fiscal 2016 funds will be assigned with the award. The labor associated with the indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract will be performed in Oklahoma City and San Antonio, and should be finished by Dec. 30, 2016.

The largest of the four Navy deals Boeing received was a $22.8 million delivery order for F/A-18E/F and EA-18G aircrew training device concurrency Technical Directive List – 5 H12 System Configuration Set (SCS)/Operational Flight Program. According to the DoD, the SCS “is delivered to the fleet as a highly integrated software package that provides upgrades to the mission computer, sensors and human-aircraft interaction.”

Nearly $20.5 million of the $22.8 million in funds being awarded with the cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order will expire at the end of the 2015 fiscal year. The labor will be conducted at U.S. Naval Air Stations throughout the U.S. and at the U.S. Marine Corps Air Station in Iwakuni, Japan. All of the work should be finished in April 2018.

Boeing will be given $16.4 million for a task order to help with the installation and assimilation of systems needed for the F/A-18 E/F and EA-18G and electromagnetic aircraft launch system follow-on test and assessment. The majority of the labor (75 percent) will be conducted in Patuxent River, Md. (75 percent) and St. Louis, and should be completed in February 2017. More than $15.5 million in fiscal 2013 and 2015 aircraft procurement funds will be assigned with the award of the cost-plus-incentive-fee delivery order, with more than $3 million of those funds slated to expire at the end of the 2015 fiscal year.

The American aircraft manufacturing colossus was also awarded $15.5 to convert three 737 P-8A flight test aircraft into low-rate 4-1 configuration. None of the funds being awarded with the cost-plus-incentive-fee delivery order will expire at the end of the 2015 fiscal year. The majority of the labor will be conducted in Patuxent River, Md., with the remaining work taking place at three other U.S. locations. The work should be finished in January 2017.

The least profitable of the contracts, a $9 million option to firm-fixed-fee-price delivery order, will be given to Boeing for integrated logistics support and engineering services aiding the Harpoon/Standoff Land Attack Missile-Expanded Response missile system and Harpoon launch systems. In addition to the U.S. Navy, the systems benefit 23 other government including the, Australia, Canada, Germany, Israel, Japan, Korea, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and the United Kingdom. The U.S. Navy and Korea are the greatest benefactors of the deal. Of the funds being awarded, $2.4 million of which will expire at the end of the 2015 fiscal year. More than 90 percent of the work will be performed in St. Charles, Mo., with the remaining labor taking place throughout the U.S. All of the work should be finished in January 2017.
