The Boeing Company's Legacy Wichita Division was awarded a $3.29 million delivery order by Air Force Materiel Command on December 23, 2010, for engineering services supporting the re-development of B-52 anti-skid systems. The contract, structured as a cost-plus-fixed-fee arrangement with a completion date of June 30, 2012, carries no set-aside designation and will be performed in Wichita, Kansas. This delivery order represents Boeing's continued role as a critical partner to the U.S. Air Force in sustaining and modernizing the B-52 Stratofortress strategic bomber platform, one of the military's most enduring aircraft systems.
The engagement supports Boeing's broader mission to maintain and enhance the operational capabilities of the Air Force's strategic bomber fleet through advanced engineering solutions. The Legacy Wichita Division has an established track record executing comparable contracts with the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex for recurring and non-recurring engineering, structural modifications, and technical sustainment activities. Boeing typically partners with specialized subcontractors including Belcan Engineering Group, Pickering Interfaces, and Hill Aerosystems to deliver the complex technical expertise required for these modernization initiatives, ensuring the B-52 platform remains operationally effective and technologically relevant to national defense requirements.
