About this award
This delivery order award to The Boeing Company represents a Foreign Military Sales (FMS) component of the KC-46A Tanker Modernization program, a Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) managed by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The contract, valued at $1.48 billion with a ceiling, is structured as a firm fixed-price delivery order for the KC-46A Pegasus aircraft platform supporting Japan's aerial refueling capabilities. The contract incorporates no small business set-aside designation, reflecting Boeing's status as the prime aircraft manufacturer and systems integrator for this critical modernization initiative. Performance is scheduled through June 30, 2025, with the award issued on December 22, 2017, establishing the foundational agreement for Japan's acquisition of KC-46A tanker aircraft and associated support equipment.
Boeing executes this contract through an extensive subcontractor network that includes major defense suppliers such as Collins Aerospace (avionics and systems), Raytheon Company (systems and sensors), Pratt & Whitney (propulsion systems), and BAE Systems Controls (electronic systems), complemented by specialized component suppliers including Telephonics Corp (communications systems), Eaton Aerospace (fuel and motion control systems), and various smaller subcontractors providing structural components, interiors, and ground support equipment. The KC-46A FMS program represents a significant international defense partnership under the Category IC acquisition framework, with contract work performed across Seattle, Washington, and multiple contractor facilities nationwide. This award supports the broader MDAP objective of modernizing aerial refueling capabilities through Boeing's 767-based platform while enabling international partners to acquire advanced tanker systems that enhance regional military airlift and sustainment operations.
