MFR JA Ceiling Increase Redactions Applied.pdf

This is a Memorandum for Record documenting a contract ceiling increase for F-15 Eagle Crest aircraft production. Mr. William Bailey approved an initial $18.28B Justification and Approval (J&A) for an F-15 Eagle Crest Individual contract on 26 January 2026 under FAR 6.302-1 authority, which permits non-competitive procurement. Subsequent in-scope requirement changes for additional F-15EX aircraft necessitated a $21B ceiling increase, raising the total contract value to $39.28B. The Fighters and Advanced Aircraft Portfolio Acquisition Executive, in accordance with DAF Contracting Compass Part 6, Section 104-2, notified Mr. William Bailey of the ceiling increase to $39.28B on 04 April 2026 to support Air Force F-15EX production. The memorandum was signed by a Contracting Officer on 7 July 2026.
