The Boeing Company

The Boeing Company Defense Division, a major defense prime contractor headquartered in Tukwila, Washington, manufactures and sustains military aircraft systems, components, and spare parts for the Department of Defense on a full-and-open basis, with no reliance on small business set-asides. Boeing operates as a child division of The Boeing Company parent (headquartered in Arlington, Virginia) and competes across the full federal landscape rather than within reserved categories.

Boeing's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in aircraft sustainment and spare parts supply. Recent representative work includes a $66.489 billion delivery order (June 2026) from Air Force Materiel Command for F139 zero-time spare engine cores and accessories for USAF and Foreign Military Sales partner aircraft; a $78.3 million order (April 2026) from Air Force Life Cycle Management Center for KC-46A landing gear initial spare parts under the KC-46 Commodities Depot Activation Stand-up vehicle; a $42.9 million order (April 2026) from AFLCMC for KC-46A initial spares; a $16.5 million order (May 2026) from Naval Air Systems Command for P-8A Poseidon software corrections; and a $1.109 million order (May 2026) from Naval Air Systems Command for P-8A fleet support services. The vast majority of awards in the source listing are micro-procurements for discrete components (fasteners, brackets, panels, seals, pumps, actuators, taxiing lights, windshields, valves) flowing through standing delivery order relationships with the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation and Naval Supply Systems Command.

Customer concentration is extreme. By award count, Defense Logistics Agency Aviation dominates at 13,273 awards worth $1.47 billion combined potential value, followed distantly by Department of the Air Force with 2,016 awards and Naval Supply Systems Command with 1,549 awards; these three represent 88% of recent awards. By potential value, the ranking inverts sharply: Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base anchors the portfolio with 293 awards worth $107.84 billion (63% of all potential value), followed by Naval Air Systems Command with 220 awards worth $38.42 billion (23%), and Air Force Materiel Command Electronic Systems Center with 49 awards worth $15.74 billion (9%). The disparity reflects Boeing's role as prime on major platform modernization programs (KC-46A Tanker, P-8A Poseidon) alongside high-volume, low-value component supply through DLA Aviation.

Boeing holds positions on multiple standing indefinite delivery vehicles. The top vehicle by task order volume is Indefinite Delivery Contract SPM40002D9407 with 11,484 task orders worth $215.3 million combined potential value (predominantly DLA Aviation supply orders). Indefinite Delivery Contract FA810305G0002 carries 1,078 task orders and $89.4 million potential value. IDC F3460101G0011 generated 654 task orders. Basic Ordering Agreement N0038323GDU01 under Naval Supply Systems Command shows 547 task orders worth $34.6 million. Boeing also holds explicit single-award indefinite delivery contracts including a $166.841 billion software corrections vehicle with Naval Air Systems Command running through December 2030 and a $470.978 billion KC-46 Commercial Aircraft Strategic Parts Exchange and Repair contract with Air Force Sustainment Center through June 2031. These vehicles represent the primary conduits through which Boeing's defense business flows to federal customers.

Activity has grown measurably: 342 awards in 2023 to 551 in 2025, though 2026 data in the source covers only the first half of the calendar year. The combined potential value across the entire award portfolio is $169.82 billion, with $99.02 billion obligated (58% of potential). Over the next twenty-four months, 423 awards with combined potential value of $13.7 billion reach ultimate completion date, presenting recompete exposure concentrated on KC-46A and P-8A sustainment platforms and DLA Aviation supply contracts.

NAICS concentration is stark: Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (336413) accounts for 14,279 awards, followed by Other Electronic Component Manufacturing (1,094), Aircraft Manufacturing (757), Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing (484), and Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (327). By PSC code, Airframe Structural Components (10,482 awards) and Miscellaneous Aircraft Accessories and Components (1,570 awards) dominate.

SCI-reportable federal service contract invoicing ran $47.9 million in FY2024 across 132 FTEs and $85.2 million in FY2025 across 168 FTEs, indicating scaling in SCI-reportable sustainment and engineering labor from FY2024 to FY2025. These figures represent a strict subset of Boeing Defense's total federal revenue and exclude goods, product sales, and non-reportable classified work. On SCI-reportable prime contracts, Boeing paid no subcontractors (0% sub-hours share), indicating direct labor delivery. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI contracts ran median $196.51 per hour, with rates ranging from $154.98/hr at the 10th percentile to $307.82/hr at the 90th percentile, positioning Boeing in the mid-to-upper tier of federal service labor pricing.

Boeing primes the vast majority of its portfolio (100% prime awards by count), with minimal subcontractor footprint in the source; named sub work appears under L3Harris Technologies Integrated Systems on BIG SAFARI efforts and under Yulista Solutions on NASA aircraft support. In its prime role, Boeing subcontracts to supply-chain partners including Applied Aerospace Structures Corp, Mission Systems Davenport Inc. (Chelton Microwave), MPC Products Corporation (Woodward MPC), and Collins Aerospace Government Systems on major KC-46A Foreign Military Sales orders. Boeing's federal posture is that of a full-and-open, large prime contractor with no set-aside participation, positioned as the primary platform integrator and parts supplier for critical DoD aviation programs.
