About this award
The U.S. Air Force awarded a $25.1 million Cost Plus Fixed Fee contract to Spirit Aerosystems Inc. on September 5, 2024, for the Bonded Unitized Composites Large-Scale Structural Demonstration (BUCLSS) program. The contract, which extends through September 30, 2029, supports Spirit Aerosystems' advanced composite manufacturing and structural certification capabilities at its Wichita, Kansas facility. This award reflects the Air Force's continued investment in mature composite manufacturing technologies and bonded aircraft structure certification methodologies, which are critical for developing next-generation aerospace platforms with improved performance and affordability.
Spirit Aerosystems Inc., a subsidiary of Spirit Aerosystems Holdings Inc., brings substantial expertise in aerostructures design, advanced composite technologies, and high-rate manufacturing processes to this effort. The company's track record includes significant prior awards from the Department of Defense and NASA for composite manufacturing industrialization, hypersonics applications, and the High-Rate Composite Aircraft Manufacturing (HICAM) initiative. No set-aside designation was applied to this award, and the contract operates outside of the company's existing Eglin Wide Agile Acquisition Contract (EWAAC), a $46 billion Air Force vehicle, though it complements Spirit Aerosystems' broader portfolio of Air Force research and development programs.
