Definitive Contract FA867510C0014

Raytheon Company's Missile Systems Division received a $18.9 million firm fixed-price definitive contract from the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) at Eglin Air Force Base for AIM-120 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM) Lot 24 production. Awarded on August 5, 2010, with an ultimate completion date of August 28, 2028, this contract is part of the larger AMRAAM Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP), which develops and sustains beyond-visual-range air-to-air missiles for all-weather, day-and-night operations. The contract carries no set-aside designation and will be performed at Raytheon's primary facility in Tucson, Arizona. Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp.'s Tactical Solutions Division serves as a major subcontractor on the effort, having been awarded a firm fixed-price sub-contract in April 2020.

The AMRAAM program represents a critical air dominance capability for the U.S. Air Force and Navy, with Raytheon serving as the dominant prime contractor across the program's production and sustainment activities. Beyond direct air-to-air combat applications, AMRAAM missiles support ground-based air defense systems such as the NASAMS platform and are supplied to multiple allied nations through Foreign Military Sales agreements. This particular lot production contract is representative of the ongoing production activities that characterize the AMRAAM program, which typically involves engineering support, technical services, and manufacturing across extended performance periods.
