About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command awarded an IDIQ contract FA8634-26-D-B001 to The Boeing Company on a sole-source basis for F-15 Eagle Crest aircraft production, integration, modernization, sustainment, and depot maintenance, with an initial ceiling of $39.28 billion supporting USAF, Air National Guard, and Department of War requirements over a ten-year ordering period (FY27–FY37), plus options to extend an additional five years.
Boeing qualifies as the sole source as the F-15 original equipment manufacturer and sole-source integrator, with proprietary technical documentation, classified information access, and unmatched depth of knowledge critical to the weapon system's operational effectiveness. Market research conducted via a 60-day Sources Sought Synopsis (posted August 2024, extended to October 2024) identified five capability packages; only Boeing demonstrated the comprehensive design, development, integration, testing, sustainment, and classified material handling capabilities required.
The contract utilizes multiple ordering mechanisms including Fixed Price, Cost-plus-Fixed-Fee, Level of Effort, and Time and Material arrangements. The J&A cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) authority and was approved January 15, 2026 by the Deputy Assistant Secretary (Contracting), with coordination signatures completed between October 2025 and December 2025. A subsequent ceiling increase to $39.28 billion was approved April 4, 2026 to accommodate additional F-15EX aircraft production requirements. The total IDIQ ceiling accommodating Foreign Military Sales customers reaches $110.23 billion, with FMS requirements estimated at $91.95 billion. Work is performed by The Boeing Company for AFLCMC/WA, F-15 Division at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
