The Boeing Company

The Boeing Company, doing business as Boeing, is a for-profit aerospace and defense manufacturer delivering aircraft manufacturing, depot-level maintenance, engineering sustainment, and contractor logistics support for legacy military platforms to the U.S. Air Force as a prime contractor (95% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor to Northrop Grumman and L3Harris on B-2 and BIG SAFARI special access programs. Boeing competes exclusively in full-and-open federal procurements with no set-asides; the company is not a small business, minority-owned, or set-aside-eligible vendor.

Boeing's customer concentration is heavily Air Force Materiel Command. The top five funding components account for 92% of recent awards by count and 95% by potential value, led by Air Force Materiel Command Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex (244 awards, $11.84 billion combined potential value), Air Force Materiel Command Aeronautical Systems Center (45 awards, $15.68 billion combined potential value), and Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center Tinker Air Force Base (136 awards, $6.49 billion combined potential value). A single Navy Naval Air Systems Command award carries $14.25 billion in potential value, indicating concentration risk around large hull platforms. Boeing's customer rankings by count and by dollars diverge notably—Aeronautical Systems Center ranks fifth by count but first by potential value, reflecting fewer but much larger awards typical of acquisition category IC major programs such as B-52 modernization, AWACS Block 40/45 upgrades, and LAIRCM Phase II systems work.

Boeing holds multiple single-award IDIQs anchoring its Air Force footprint. The C-32/C-40 Contractor Logistics Support IDIQ (Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex, $994 million ceiling, March 31, 2033 completion, approximately $277 million in delivery orders issued to date) supports presidential and executive transport aircraft maintenance, repair, engineering analysis, and technical services. The $420 million KC-135 Engineering Sustainment Support Services IDIQ (Air Force Materiel Command, June 30, 2033 completion) provides recurring and non-recurring engineering for the aerial refueling tanker fleet. The $37.5 million E-3 AWACS Sustainment Engineering Services IDIQ (Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex, July 16, 2027 completion) covers engineering sustainment for airborne early warning platforms. The $70.6 million Air Launched Cruise Missile Engineering Services IDIQ (Air Force Materiel Command, June 30, 2033 completion) provides specialized laboratories and flight test support for strategic missile systems. Smaller vehicles include a $50 million multiplatform engineering services IDIQ (Air Force Sustainment Center, January 12, 2032 completion) and a $17.9 million Air Force Integrated Conventional Stores Management System repairs IDIQ (Air Force Sustainment Center, June 15, 2031 completion). Recent task order velocity reflects sustained demand: Boeing issued 104 task orders under one multi-year vehicle in fiscal 2025 alone, with combined potential value of $1.13 billion.

Activity has remained steady with modest growth: 44 awards in 2022 to 67 in 2025, with 37 awards recorded so far in 2026. Recompete exposure is material: 79 awards (combined potential value $3.41 billion) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing a recompete cliff concentration in legacy platform sustainment and engineering work. Boeing's capability footprint spans aircraft manufacturing, depot-level maintenance and sustainment engineering for the B-52 Stratofortress, KC-135 Stratotanker, E-3 and E-4B AWACS, C-32/C-40 presidential transport aircraft, B-1 Lancer, and F-15 Eagle; modification and retrofit of missile and avionics systems; and technical data management. Representative prime work includes a $2.044 billion cost-plus-incentive delivery order (December 23, 2025, Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex) for modification of two B-52 MTC-certified aircraft with the CERP modification and subsystem modeling updates through May 31, 2033; a $208.5 million cost-no-fee delivery order (December 11, 2025) for E-4B contract logistics support option years 10 and 11 through November 30, 2027; a $138.8 million cost-plus-incentive delivery order (July 3, 2025) for B-1B external carriage sustainment and acquisition; and a $80.5 million cost-plus-incentive delivery order (August 8, 2025) for E-4B contractor logistics services through December 21, 2027.

SCI-reported federal service contract activity demonstrates Boeing's scale as a depot-level and engineering services prime. FY2025 invoicing reached $338.9 million across 445 FTEs—a significant increase from prior-year levels of $11–$14 million annually across 30–52 FTEs—indicating recent acceleration in service contract reporting or a major new service contract capture. Median government-paid rates run $183.61 per hour, with senior labor pricing through $239.92 per hour and entry-level support at $78.08 per hour, consistent with a mix of engineering, technical, and depot-level maintenance roles. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors account for 2% of total contractor hours share, reflecting Boeing's posture as a vertically integrated prime that self-performs the bulk of its labor footprint while selectively engaging nine named subcontractors for specialized components and support. Boeing's subcontracting pattern on larger delivery orders names Delta Air Lines (aerospace support and logistics), L3Harris Technologies Integrated Systems (systems engineering and integration), Collins Aerospace/Rockwell Collins (avionics and aircraft systems), Rolls-Royce Corporation (propulsion systems), and minority-owned or HUBZone-certified firms including Dow Aero LLC (woman-owned, HUBZone-certified aerospace support), King Aerospace Commercial Corporation (minority-owned small business maintenance and non-production support), and S.r. Aerospace LLC (HUBZone-certified aerospace support). On strategic access program work, Boeing subcontracts to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (B-2 sustaining engineering, software sustainment, and laboratory support) and L3Harris Technologies Integrated Systems (BIG SAFARI aircraft manufacturing and modification), positioning itself as a systems integrator and component provider on classified programs rather than the prime.

Boeing's award portfolio breaks across five primary NAICS categories: Engineering Services (351 awards), Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (169 awards), Aircraft Manufacturing (93 awards), Other Support Activities for Air Transportation (55 awards), and Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing (9 awards). PSC coding reflects the same distribution: Support–Professional Engineering/Technical (417 awards) dominates, followed by Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment–Aircraft and Airframe Structural Components (128 awards) and smaller allocations to Airframe Structural Components, Aircraft Fixed Wing, and Fire Control Equipment Maintenance. Boeing's federal footprint is concentrated at Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex, Tinker Air Force Base, and Aeronautical Systems Center, with delivery orders placed by multiple Air Force Life Cycle Management Center locations and direct funding agencies across research, development, and sustainment missions. The company does not participate in grant programs; all 665 prime awards are federal contracts and IDVs.
