The Boeing Company, a major defense contractor, has been awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) by the U.S. Air Force's Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) and Materiel Command to provide a wide range of products and services in support of the Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) major defense program. The $345 million single-award IDC has an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2029 and does not utilize any set-aside designations. Under this IDC, Boeing has received numerous delivery orders to deliver JDAM guidance kits, trainers, spare parts, integration services, and technical support, primarily performed at the company's facility in St. Louis, Missouri. The JDAM program provides the U.S. military and international partners with low-cost, precision-guided munition capabilities by converting unguided bombs into GPS-enabled "smart" weapons. As a long-standing prime contractor for tactical aircraft, munitions, and associated sustainment, Boeing's work under this IDC supports the Air Force's objectives to enhance the precision, reliability, and interoperability of JDAM systems across a range of military aviation platforms.
The delivery orders awarded under this IDC cover a variety of JDAM-related goods and services, including integration, testing, upgrades, logistics support, and training. Contract values range from thousands to tens of millions of dollars, with firm fixed-price, cost-plus-fixed-fee, and cost reimbursement pricing structures. The ordering agencies include the AFLCMC at Eglin Air Force Base and the Ogden Air Logistics Complex, as well as the Naval Air Systems Command. The contracted efforts support not only U.S. forces but also international partners such as Israel, Singapore, Malaysia, Qatar, South Korea, and Taiwan, demonstrating the global reach and versatility of the JDAM program.
