The Boeing Company

The Boeing Company Defense Division, doing business as Boeing, is a large, multinational prime contractor that develops, manufactures, and sustains advanced military aircraft, precision-guided munitions, and associated defense systems for the Department of Defense and allied nations. Boeing competes without set-aside restrictions across full-and-open procurements, holding no SBA designations. The Defense Division is a subsidiary of The Boeing Company headquarters, headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, with primary facilities in Berkeley, St. Louis, Seattle, Jacksonville, and San Antonio, Missouri and Florida, performing work worldwide at U.S. and overseas locations including Israel, the United Kingdom, Belgium, and subordinate component commands at domestic and OCONUS installations.

Boeing's federal footprint encompasses 14,163 recent awards with $371.07 billion in combined potential value. The company operates as a prime contractor on 100 percent of this portfolio (14,129 awards), with minimal subcontract activity (34 sub-awards). Customer concentration is extreme: the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command's Aeronautical Systems Center and Lifecycle Management Center account for $175.2 billion in combined potential value across 255 awards, while Naval Air Systems Command represents $50.05 billion across 2,752 awards and Naval Supply Systems Command $13.74 billion across 1,502 awards. These three customers alone cover 83 percent of Boeing's combined potential value. Awards split between major aircraft programs (F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, F-15 variants, P-8A Poseidon, T-7 Advanced Pilot Training, EA-18G Growler) and precision-guided munitions (Joint Direct Attack Munition, Small Diameter Bomb Increment, Massive Ordnance Penetrator). Representative prime work includes a $2.805 billion F-15 Korea K+ Foreign Military Sales delivery order (Aeronautical Systems Center, January 2026), an $8.565 billion F-15 Israel program definitive contract (Aeronautical Systems Center, December 2025), a $391.24 million P-8A Poseidon retrofit kit delivery order (Naval Air Systems Command, June 2026), and a $6.9 billion Small Diameter Bomb Increment all-up-rounds production indefinite delivery contract (Ogden Air Logistics Complex, September 2024).

Vehicle position reflects Boeing's role as a prime contractor on multiple large government-wide and agency-specific IDIQs. Boeing holds a $930.8 million single-award IDC for F/A-18E/F Super Hornet sustainment, logistics, and modernization (Naval Air Systems Command, December 2025); a $600 million IDIQ for Joint Direct Attack Munition technical support and aircraft/weapon system integration (Ogden Air Logistics Complex, September 2024); an $18.56 million single-award IDIQ for USN/FMS system engineering, training, and technical services (Naval Air Systems Command, March 2025); and a corporate basic ordering agreement with Naval Air Systems Command (June 2026) establishing a requirements-based procurement framework. Within these vehicles, Boeing has issued or received multiple delivery orders: the P-8A retrofit ceiling order ($391.24 million), an F/A-18E/F structural life management order ($151.5 million), and JDAM/laser JDAM production and sustainment task orders valued in the tens to hundreds of millions. Top parent vehicles by task-order count include indefinite delivery contracts SP040001D9406 (2,850 orders, $53.1 million), N0038305G003H (1,266 orders, $100.4 million), and SPM70001D9406 (1,044 orders, $8.5 million).

Activity trajectory shows significant decline: Boeing received 197 awards in 2023, 185 in 2024, 135 in 2025, and 75 in 2026, with only 1 award recorded in 2027 (a July 31 transaction). Combined potential value has been obligated at 40 percent across all awards, reflecting normal payment timing on production and development contracts. A recompete cliff looms: 229 awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $26.29 billion, representing significant contract expiration and recompete risk for Boeing and corresponding recompete opportunity for competitors.

Capability portfolio centers on military aircraft development, production, and sustainment. Boeing designs and manufactures the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and EA-18G Growler tactical fighters (delivered to U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and allied nations including Australia, Canada, Switzerland, Malaysia, Finland, Spain); leads production of the F-15 fighter family across domestic and export variants (Saudi Arabia, Israel, Korea, other FMS customers); produces the P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft; manufactures the T-7 Advanced Pilot Training system; and designs precision-guided munitions including JDAM, laser JDAM, Small Diameter Bomb variants, and the Massive Ordnance Penetrator. Recent award examples demonstrate scope: a $284.5 million delivery order for fourteen T-7 APT production aircraft (Aeronautical Systems Center, May 2026); a $493.7 million JDAM Lot 30 and Laser JDAM Lot 14 delivery order (Ogden Air Logistics Complex, March 2026); a $365.9 million JDAM SABR-Y tail kits order for USAF and USN (Ogden, July 2025); and a $56.4 million delivery order for F-15SA conformal fuel tanks supporting Saudi Arabia (Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex, June 2026). Boeing also provides contractor logistics support, sustainment engineering, systems integration, non-recurring engineering, and technical publications across these platforms.

Teaming pattern reflects Boeing's status as a dominant prime: 100 percent of recent awards are prime contracts (14,129 awards), with only 34 sub-awards across the entire portfolio. On SCI-reportable prime service contracts, Boeing subcontracts an average of 1 percent of total contractor hours, indicating Boeing builds and delivers using its own internal labor capacity and specialized subsidiaries rather than relying on external subcontractors. SCI data shows $507.4 million invoiced revenue from FY2022 through FY2025 (FY2024: $198.8 million; FY2025: $173.1 million), with 369 FTEs delivered to the federal government in FY2025. Median government-paid hourly rates on SCI contracts run around $109.58/hr, with senior labor pricing through $287.30/hr, reflecting the specialized engineering, manufacturing, and technical expertise Boeing brings to defense programs.

Named subcontractors are sparse in the visible award set but include Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (F/A-18 major structures and fuselage assemblies), Raytheon Company (CIWS production), Lockheed Martin Corporation (CASS FOT sustainment), BAE Systems (navigation and positioning components on JDAM), Honeywell International (guidance systems, inertial measurement units), L3Harris Technologies (avionics and electronic warfare), and specialized component suppliers (Chemring Energetic Devices Inc., Kaskaskia Tool and Machine Inc., GE Aviation Systems, Hamilton Sundstrand, CDW Government, Ansys Government Initiatives). These relationships are consistent with Boeing's role as an integrator of complex military systems requiring avionics, propulsion, structures, and advanced electronics from tier-one defense suppliers.

SCI-reported service contract activity is modest relative to Boeing's total federal footprint: $507.4 million invoiced over four fiscal years represents a narrow slice of the company's production and development contract revenue, which dominates the $371 billion combined potential value across products (aircraft, munitions, components). The SCI dataset captures engineering support and technical services above the $150,000 threshold; it excludes goods, manufacturing, and classified work and does not reflect Boeing's total federal services revenue or enterprise-wide activity.
