The Boeing Company received a delivery order valued at approximately $324,859 under a Cost Plus Fixed Fee contract to support the C-17A Globemaster III program. The award, issued by Air Force Materiel Command at Wright Patterson Air Force Base on December 12, 2012, with an ultimate completion date of June 13, 2015, is designated for General and Industrial Research for U.S. and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) purposes. The work will be performed at Boeing's facility in Huntington Beach, California. This delivery order carries no small business set-aside designation and represents part of Boeing's broader role as the primary contractor supporting the C-17A sustainment and development activities.
The C-17A Globemaster III is a Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) under the Major Capability Acquisition pathway, representing a critical strategic airlift capability for the Department of Defense. As an Acquisition Category IC program, it encompasses extensive aircraft production, sustainment, software maintenance, and ground support equipment activities. This particular delivery order supports Boeing's comprehensive sustainment operations for the C-17A fleet, which historically involve contract awards ranging from specialized equipment purchases to large-scale sustainment orders exceeding $500 million, along with Boeing's major indefinite delivery contracts valued at approximately $47 billion for overall C-17A sustainment activities.
