The Boeing Company

The Boeing Company's Defense, Space & Security Division operates as a prime contractor on full-and-open federal defense sustainment and repair work for the Air Force, delivering specialized guidance, navigation, and control system repairs, missile subsystem refurbishment, and aerospace component remanufacturing without set-aside designations. Boeing is a large for-profit manufacturer headquartered at its parent entity in Arlington, Virginia, with the Defense, Space & Security Division's primary operations at Heath, Ohio, where it maintains specialized facilities for guidance system repair, test capability, and remanufacturing across NAICS 336413 (Aircraft Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical Systems and Instrument Manufacturing) and allied categories.

Boeing's customer concentration is heavily concentrated in the Department of the Air Force. Across the vendor's award portfolio, the Air Force Materiel Command accounts for 88 awards valued at $4.78 billion in combined potential value — representing roughly 84% of Boeing's $5.69 billion federal contract portfolio. Within Air Force Materiel Command, three subordinate components dominate: the Air Force Sustainment Center (66 awards, $584.1 million), the Nuclear Weapons Center (37 awards, $319.4 million), and the Ogden Air Logistics Complex (3 awards, $1 million). The Navy and Defense Logistics Agency Aviation represent secondary customers (19 and 9 awards respectively, representing the balance of the 88% coverage threshold). This concentration is decision-relevant: Boeing's federal revenue depends almost entirely on Air Force sustainment orders and faces no material diversification across other defense or civilian agencies.

Boeing's vehicle position rests on five active indefinite delivery contracts. The largest is IDC F4261099D0006, under which 141 task orders totaling $990.4 million in potential value have been issued — this vehicle addresses aircraft guidance and navigation equipment repair under Air Force Sustainment Center authority. IDC F4263095D0686 carries 57 task orders (vehicle scope not detailed in source). IDC FA821415D0002 supports missile guidance system repair with 17 task orders valued at $520 million and an ultimate completion date extending to 2045, reflecting the long-cycle nature of intercontinental ballistic missile sustainment. IDC FA811722D0004 and FA811715D0030 carry smaller task order counts (11 and 9 respectively) valued at $46.2 million and $106.8 million. These vehicles are single-award IDCs held directly by Boeing with no competitive recompete exposure in the near term.

Recent concrete work examples illustrate Boeing's core capability: a $129.1 million cost-plus-award-fee delivery order from Air Force Materiel Command (September 2025, performance at Hill Air Force Base, Utah) for Minuteman III missile guidance set repair; a $7.015 million firm fixed-price delivery order from Air Force Sustainment Center (March 2024, completion September 2026) for aircraft guidance and navigation instrument repair with Honeywell International Inc.'s Aerospace-Clearwater Division performing systems-level work; a $237.8 million cost-plus-award-fee delivery order from Air Force Materiel Command (July 2023, completion September 2045) for Minuteman III missile guidance subsystem repair under a $2.414 billion parent IDC; and a $4.8 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order (September 2022) for Air Launch Cruise Missile Guided Missile Flight Controller test station build and remanufacture under a $48.2 million parent vehicle. All work is performed at Boeing's Heath, Ohio facility, which specializes in disassembly, refurbishment, testing, and reassembly of guidance and navigation systems.

Activity has remained steady over the past five years — eight awards in 2021 and 2022, declining to four in 2023, recovering to six in 2024, and rising to ten in 2025. Eleven awards (combined potential value $191.5 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure. The SCI-reported dataset shows Boeing recorded $114.8 million in invoiced federal service-contract revenue in FY2024 across 316 FTEs delivered against five SCI-reportable prime contracts; SCI reported zero activity in FY2022 and FY2023, reflecting the threshold-reporting structure of the inventory. On federal services contracts captured in SCI, median government-paid rates ran around $155.75 per hour, with rates ranging from approximately $134/hr at the tenth percentile to $63,929/hr at the 90th percentile (the latter reflecting likely billable cost-pool or labor category aggregation). Boeing's subcontractor engagement on SCI-reportable contracts is minimal — zero percent of hours are performed by named subs across prime records, indicating Boeing builds and staffs its own delivery teams on recorded service contracts.

Boeing operates as a prime on 98% of its recent awards and as a subcontractor on 2% (six awards). When subcontracting, Boeing delivers engineering services to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (six separate engineering services sub-awards issued July 2, 2025). More frequently, Boeing engages subcontractors on its own prime work: Honeywell International Inc.'s Aerospace-Clearwater Division performs navigation and communication systems repair and test services on aircraft guidance sustainment contracts; Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation provides inertial navigation units and engineering support; Lockheed Martin Corporation delivers technical solutions on missile guidance work; and smaller suppliers including Frequency Electronics Inc., CEC Electronics Corp, and Packaging Systems Inc. provide specialized components and commodities. This subcontract pattern reflects Boeing's role as an integrating prime responsible for complex repair and remanufacturing logistics rather than a feeder vendor reliant on larger primes.
