The U.S. Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to The Boeing Company, a major aerospace and defense contractor, for the KC-46 Initial Spares (KIS) program. The $1.894 billion KIS IDIQ contract has a period of performance through September 30, 2027 and will enable the Air Force to efficiently procure spare parts, maintenance services, and engineering support for the KC-46A aerial refueling tanker, a critical military aircraft modernization program.
Under this KIS IDIQ, the Air Force has issued several firm fixed-price delivery orders to Boeing, the prime contractor, for initial KC-46A spare parts and components. These delivery orders, valued at $1.493 million and $1.629 million respectively, support the overall KC-46A Tanker Modernization effort by providing the necessary spare inventory to sustain and maintain the aircraft. Boeing has subcontracted portions of the work to various suppliers to fulfill these delivery order requirements. The KIS IDIQ and associated task orders do not utilize any set-aside designations, as Boeing has demonstrated extensive capabilities in supplying the U.S. government with critical aerospace products and services.
