Boeing Aerospace Operations, Inc.

Boeing Aerospace Operations, Inc. BAO Division, doing business as Boeing, is a large aerospace and defense manufacturer operating as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) on federal contracts across Department of Defense, NASA, and Federal Aviation Administration programs, with no small-business set-asides. BAO is a division of The Boeing Company, a parent entity headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, and operates primarily on full-and-open competitive awards.

BAO's federal footprint concentrates on aircraft sustainment, logistics, engineering support, and modeling and simulation services. The vendor delivers contractor field service representative (CFSR) support for military rotorcraft platforms including the CH-47F Chinook, AH-64 Apache, and various Navy tactical aircraft; contractor logistics support for executive transport fleets (C-32, C-40); and technical engineering services spanning design visualization, avionics support, and systems integration. Representative work includes a $117.4 million time-and-materials delivery order from the Air Force (September 2024 through March 2029) for combat air force global strike mission planning systems software development and modernization under the OASIS IDIQ; a $30.3 million firm fixed-price delivery order from Air Force Materiel Command at Tinker for C-32/C-40 contractor logistics support (July 2022 through July 2024); a $9.2 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order from Naval Air Systems Command for P-8 and C-40 contractor engineering technical services and field services (January 2024 through December 2026); and a $14.08 million single-award IDV with Army PEO Aviation for non-deployed CH-47F field service representative support (October 2021 through March 2025).

Customer concentration is acute and split between volume and dollars. The top five agencies account for 60% of awards by count but an asymmetric 83% of combined potential value. Naval Air Systems Command leads by award count (166 awards, $260.4 million combined potential value), reflecting recurring quarterly CFSR delivery orders for EA-18G, F/A-18, P-8, and C-40 platforms. Air Force Materiel Command at Tinker Air Force Base (76 awards, $564.4 million) dominates dollar value, anchored by the large C-32/C-40 logistics contracts. The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration and Department of the Air Force Material Command Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex are the top two by potential value ($1.73 billion and $1.12 billion respectively), indicating BAO holds high-ceiling IDVs with those customers that have not yet translated into large task-order volume in the source snapshot. NASA Kennedy Space Center places 40 awards (modeling and simulation task orders under GSA Multiple Award Schedule BPAs) worth $23.8 million; Army PEO Aviation places 30 awards for $53.9 million.

BAO's primary vehicle positions are Navy and Air Force-specific IDVs. The top parent vehicles are Navy IDV N6893606D0002 (71 task orders, $26.6 million), Air Force IDV FA810616D0004 (63 task orders, $526.1 million), Navy IDV N6893614D0010 (48 task orders, $33.8 million), Air Force IDV F0960301D0213 (47 task orders, $13.7 million), and Navy IDV N6893620D0007 (45 task orders, $75.3 million). BAO also holds the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and places work under OASIS.

Activity has declined year over year from 36 awards in 2021 to 13 in 2024, with only 3 awards in 2025 to date. The recompete cliff is minimal: only 2 awards (combined potential value $12.3 million) reach ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, indicating BAO's recompete exposure is not immediately acute in the source window.

On Service Contract Inventory-reported federal services contracts, BAO invoiced $44.2 million across FY2022–FY2024 (FY2024 alone: $24.5 million across 104 FTEs), demonstrating a marked expansion in SCI-reportable workforce from 21 FTEs in FY2022 to 84.7 FTEs in FY2024. Median government-paid hourly rates on prime contracts run around $159/hr, with senior labor pricing through $355/hr. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors account for roughly 3% of total contractor hours, and BAO names approximately 10 subcontractors in SCI data, indicating the vendor builds most delivery teams internally rather than relying on layered subcontracting.

Named subcontractors in the award footprint include M1 Support Services, L.P. (aircraft maintenance components for Army and Air Force), Delta Air Lines, Inc. (aerospace support on C-32/C-40 logistics), Greenpoint Technologies, Inc. (aircraft interior support), Collins Aerospace / Rockwell Collins Inc. (avionics and systems), L3Harris Technologies (systems support), Teledyne Controls, LLC (avionics and aircraft data systems), and several small HUBZone and minority-owned suppliers including Dow Aero, LLC, S.r. Aerospace LLC, and King Aerospace Commercial Corporation, Inc. These subcontracts are concentrated in C-32/C-40 logistics delivery orders, indicating BAO leverages specialized vendors for distinct aircraft system components rather than operating as a subcontractor-dependent prime.

The category concentration shows BAO's portfolio is dominated by engineering services (331 awards), other support activities for air transportation (72 awards), and aircraft manufacturing (50 awards) at the NAICS level, with technical representative roles for aircraft components and maintenance/repair of aircraft structural components as the dominant PSC codes, confirming the core competency in aviation sustainment, field service support, and systems engineering.
