The Boeing Company

The Boeing Company, doing business as Boeing, is a large for-profit aerospace and defense manufacturer that operates as a prime contractor on a $23.8 billion single-award indefinite-delivery contract with the Air Force Materiel Command for C-17 Globemaster III total sustainment and minor development, competing on an unrestricted full-and-open basis without set-asides. Boeing is headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, with a Long Beach, California subsidiary handling C-17 sustainment operations.

Boeing's federal award footprint centers almost entirely on Air Force C-17 strategic airlift aircraft sustainment. Of 614 total awards in the source data, 175 awards fund Department of the Air Force programs, with 91 awards and $39.48 billion in combined potential value routed through Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Wright Patterson Air Force Base and 71 awards and $30.06 billion through Air Force Materiel Command proper. The top customer concentration is extreme: the two Air Force Materiel Command entities represent the bulk of Boeing's federal revenue. A secondary tier includes Defense Logistics Agency (86 awards), Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (3 awards, $54.9 million), and scattered activity across 30 distinct agencies. Across all 614 awards, Boeing obligated $61.44 billion against a combined potential value of $71.81 billion, achieving 86% funding certainty in the dataset.

Concrete capability scope is anchored to the C-17 platform. Representative recent delivery orders under the parent $23.8 billion indefinite-delivery contract (FA852621D0001) include a $728.5 million cost-plus-incentive order for FY26 C-17 Globemaster III depot maintenance and sustainment (November 2025), a $772.3 million order for annual material orders and components (November 2025), a $266.6 million definitive contract to resolve obsolescence in the C-17 fight deck through modernized open-architecture solutions (December 2025), a $1.066 billion cost-plus-incentive order for FY24 virtual fleet material requirements covering production materials, aerospace support components, systems, electro-hydraulic-mechanical parts, and common aerospace commodities (October 2023), and a $547.9 million cost-plus-incentive order for FY25 total sustainment and minor development (April 2025). Work also encompasses Material Improvement Program kits and upgrades ($6.83 million), C-17 Starshield integration ($4.65 million), overhead panel obsolescence replacement ($5.36 million), lighting technology transition planning ($3.09 million), and foreign military sales support including Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures for the United Arab Emirates ($7.9 million). NAICS concentration reflects this scope: Aircraft Manufacturing accounts for 281 awards; Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing, 48 awards. Top PSC codes are National Defense R&D Services (102 awards), Airframe Structural Components (101 awards), and Aircraft, Fixed Wing (68 awards).

Performance is distributed across Boeing facilities in Long Beach, California; San Antonio, Texas; Warner Robins, Georgia; and Travis Air Force Base, California, with administrative oversight at Air Force Materiel Command. The parent indefinite-delivery contract runs through October 31, 2027, with delivery orders extending through 2030 on individual task orders. Activity has remained steady in recent years — 19 awards in 2022, 13 in 2023, 20 in 2024, and 17 in 2025 — with 32 awards valued at $2.43 billion facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore exposed to recompete risk.

Boeing is the dominant prime contractor on this footprint, claiming 99% of awards (609 prime to 5 sub-awards). In its rare sub role, Boeing delivers systems work under Booz Allen Hamilton on EMAPS 2 Ka Fuselage Mounted Antenna communication system installs for C-17 aircraft (five sub-awards from 2023 through September 2024). More characteristically, Boeing engages an extensive prime subcontractor network. Named subs across recent orders include Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation and Collins Aerospace for propeller systems, hydraulic components, and aerospace support; Honeywell International for systems components and starter engine upgrades; L3 Aviation Products for avionics systems and electronic flight instruments; Teradyne Inc. for automated test equipment; Parker-Hannifin Corporation for hydraulic and control systems; BAE Systems Controls Inc. for advanced electronic systems and flight control computers; Ontic Engineering & Manufacturing for aerospace support and repair; SDL Xyenterprise LLC for virtual fleet labor sustainment; and dozens of smaller commodity and component suppliers including Michelin North America for aircraft tires, Glenair Inc. for electrical interconnect and cable assemblies, and woman-owned small businesses including Able Electronics Inc. and Aireps Inc. for aerospace commodities and electrical components.

Service Contract Inventory data covering FY2022–FY2024 shows SCI-reportable invoiced revenue of $2.85 billion across 30 prime records, with FY2023 peaking at $1.21 billion across 1,259 FTEs and declining to $912 million across 1,164 FTEs in FY2024. These SCI figures capture service contracts above the $150,000 threshold and exclude goods, products, and classified work, representing a strict subset of Boeing's total federal C-17 sustainment revenue and a far smaller fraction of enterprise revenue. Government-paid hourly rates on prime SCI contracts show wide dispersion: median of $1,130.42 per hour, with senior labor and engineering roles priced to $4,287.20 per hour and entry-level support at $193.85 per hour. Boeing self-performed all SCI-reported hours, with zero subcontractor engagement recorded in the SCI dataset, though the detailed contract awards show extensive use of subcontractors.

The single parent vehicle (FA852621D0001) has generated 66 task orders carrying $6.63 billion in combined potential value. Four additional IDIQs (F0960398G0018 with 58 task orders; F3365795D2026 with 39; SP040003D9408 with 37; F3365701D2000 with 35) anchor the secondary vehicle portfolio. Boeing's federal revenue is concentrated nearly entirely on Air Force sustainment and material orders, with minimal civilian or other-service exposure; this concentration reflects its incumbent role as sole-source prime for a critical strategic airlift platform.
