The Department of Defense, through the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, issued a $55.895 billion delivery order ceiling to The Boeing Company Services Division on August 8, 2024, for performance-based logistics material procurement in support of aircraft sustainment across military aviation platforms, with ultimate completion by October 8, 2025.

Place of performance is Berkeley, Missouri. This delivery order operates under firm fixed-price terms and carries no set-aside designation, indicating full-and-open competition. The order draws from Boeing's established federal services footprint: the company operates as a large prime contractor without socioeconomic designations, competing across defense logistics and sustainment work with particular concentration in Defense Logistics Agency Aviation relationships (45,750 awards representing 81.5% of Boeing Services Division's total prime volume).

The subcontractor team reflects Boeing's deep integration into military aircraft supply chains. Eaton Aerospace LLC (Fuel & Motion Control Systems Division) supplies electro-mechanical actuators, gearbox assemblies, and fuel system components. Honeywell International operates multiple divisions—Aerospace-South Bend (landing gear, wheels, brakes, hydraulic systems), Aerospace-Phoenix (rotorcraft engines and components), and Aerospace-Tempe (thermal management systems and valve assemblies)—together anchoring the propulsion and mechanical systems supply. Northrop Grumman Aeronautics Systems manufactures aircraft structural components and major structures. Additional key suppliers include Acron Aviation (avionics and flight instruments), Triumph Actuation Systems (hydraulic actuators and control assemblies), and a multi-vendor team of electronics, fastener, and commodity suppliers including Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, L3Harris, Bell Textron, Sikorsky Aircraft, and smaller component manufacturers.

The order's massive ceiling reflects Boeing's role as the Department of Defense's primary aircraft sustainment integrator, drawing on established indefinite delivery vehicles with DLA Aviation and consolidating material requirements across the department's rotorcraft and fixed-wing fleet. Work encompasses aircraft component manufacturing, repair and overhaul services, spare parts provisioning, and integrated logistics support across C-17 Globemaster III, F-15 series, Apache helicopters, CH-47 Chinook, and additional platforms through subordinate performance-based logistics task orders.
