The Boeing Company

The Boeing Company, a major aerospace and defense prime contractor, delivers military aircraft, guided-missile systems, electronic components, communications platforms, logistics support, and research and development services to the Department of Defense, the Department of the Army, the Department of the Navy, the Air Force, and NASA as a prime contractor across multiple contract vehicles and indefinite-delivery platforms. Boeing operates on a full-and-open basis with no set-aside designations, reflecting its status as a large, established prime contractor that does not compete under small-business or socioeconomic set-aside categories.

Boeing is a for-profit corporation headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, with a child entity (the subject of the primary award source) based in Huntington Beach, California. The parent corporation serves as a manufacturing and service provider across multiple NAICS categories, with the top concentration in aircraft manufacturing (158 awards), research and development in physical and engineering sciences (42 awards), and guided-missile and space vehicle parts manufacturing (25 awards). The top five customer agencies by award count are the Department of the Army (697 awards), the Department of the Air Force (613 awards), the Department of the Navy (257 awards), NASA (158 awards), and the Air Force Materiel Command (95 awards); however, the dollar concentration differs significantly. The Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Robins Air Force Base anchors the portfolio with 46 awards carrying $24.36 billion in combined potential value—representing 64% of Boeing's total combined potential value across all federal awards. The Air Force Materiel Command broadly (95 awards) represents $3.24 billion, and the Navy (257 awards) $489.2 million. This concentration reflects Boeing's strategic role as a prime on major weapons-system and platform-sustainment vehicles rather than on volume procurement.

Boeing's prime-contract footprint is concentrated (98% of awards are primes, 2% subs). The vendor holds position on multiple large indefinite-delivery contracts. The Data Link Enterprise IDC (FA852612D0001) anchors the portfolio with 144 task orders and $8.91 billion in combined potential value. Army indefinite-delivery vehicles DASG6086C0013 (85 task orders) and DAAH0187G0003 (78 task orders) rank second and third. Additional significant vehicles include F0470182C0059 (30 task orders) and DASG6081C0038 (28 task orders). Under the Air Force Materiel Command, Boeing holds three prime IDVs: the Combat Survivor Evader Locator (CSEL) Contractor Logistics Support contract ($99 million ceiling, single-award, through December 2027, with delivery orders including $20.3 million Year 3 CLS, $19.6 million Year 4 CLS, and $8.5 million Gen-10 server refresh); the P-8A Acoustic Operational Flight Program fleet support and sustainment IDV ($94.9 million ceiling, single-award, through February 2027, with delivery orders for fleet sustainment, research and development, and acoustic software improvements); and the GLOBE 2.0 IDV ($24.5 million ceiling, single-award, through May 2029, for core support services). Under Naval Air Systems Command, Boeing delivers P-8A sustainment and research-and-development task orders; under Naval Sea Systems Command, Boeing serves as Design Agent for the AN/USQ-82(V) Data Multiplexing System ($102 million definitive contract through May 2028, supporting DDG 51 Class Destroyer communications systems). Recent concrete delivery-order awards include a $6.48 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order from Naval Air Systems Command for P-8A Acoustic Operational Flight Program dynamic configuration and acoustic software improvements (February 2026), a $84.1 million firm-fixed-price delivery order from Air Force for the Common Tactical Edge Network under the Data Link Enterprise IDV (July 2022), and a $51.5 million cost-plus-fixed-fee research-and-development contract from DARPA for advanced Hunter-phase research (September 2021).

Activity has remained relatively stable to declining over the past five years—21 awards in 2022, 16 in 2023, 34 in 2024, 24 in 2025, and 4 so far in 2026—but the dollar magnitude of individual awards skews heavily toward large R&D and sustainment vehicles. Of the 2,644 total prime and sub awards in the source data, 25 awards carrying $1.37 billion in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, exposing Boeing to recompete activity on that scale within the window.

In its subcontractor role, Boeing performs specialized aerospace and defense engineering under major primes including Lockheed Martin (PAC-3 missile support, missile production, and Trident seeker repair and modernization work across multiple fiscal years), Scientific Research Corporation (acoustic data recorder and flash drive receiver engineering and development for maritime systems), BAE Systems (integration and engineering services for the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile weapon system), and The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (wideband terminal flight demonstration materials under the Aerospace Research, Development and Engineering Support II contract). Boeing's subcontract footprint is minimal relative to its prime business (2% of awards), and the named subs typically involve specialized technical tasks rather than full system integration.

Across SCI-reportable federal service contracts (a strict subset capturing invoiced activity above the $150,000 threshold for fiscal years 2022–2024), Boeing reported $65.4 million in invoiced revenue from 11 prime contracts and 2 named-sub records, with an FTE trajectory from 22.7 in FY2022 to 29.0 in FY2024. Government-paid hourly rates on these prime contracts ranged from a 10th percentile of $107.06/hr to a median of $304.46/hr to a 90th percentile of $528.98/hr, reflecting a mix of junior technical staff and senior program-management labor. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, Boeing performed 0% of contractor hours through subcontractors, indicating direct delivery on these specific service contracts.

Boeing's core capabilities center on military aircraft sustainment and modernization (P-8A Poseidon, C-17 Globemaster III), combat survival and communications systems (CSEL platform logistics and component support), naval data communications and fire control (AN/USQ-82(V) Design Agent role, circuit card assembly repair and manufacturing), guided-missile systems and seekers (PAC-3 support, PAC-3 seeker repair and manufacturing under Lockheed prime), tactical communications networks (Common Tactical Edge Network), and advanced research and development across aerospace domains (DARPA Hunter, BLOS upgrade configuration for foreign military sales partners, and acoustic operational flight program enhancements). The vendor supports this portfolio using established teaming relationships with specialized electronics suppliers (Apt Electronics, Fiber Systems International/Amphenol), small-business IT vendors (Trivad, Sterling Computers, Thundercat Technology), and aerospace support firms (Kratos S1/RT Logic, CDW Government), positioning itself as an integrator of system-level engineering, logistics, and component manufacturing across the defense enterprise.
