The Boeing Company

The Boeing Company, doing business as Boeing, delivers military rotorcraft design, manufacturing, engineering support, and component production to the Department of Defense as a large, established prime contractor (99% of recent awards) competing full-and-open without set-asides. Boeing operates through a parent holding company headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, with its Mesa, Arizona facility serving as the primary hub for helicopter development, sustainment, and manufacturing work.

Boeing's customer concentration is extreme and platform-specific. The top five funding agencies account for 90% of awards by count and 99% by combined potential value. The Department of the Army Materiel Command Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command dominates with 662 awards valued at $21.03 billion in combined potential value, anchored almost entirely to the AH-64 Apache attack helicopter platform across design, remanufacture, sustainment, component manufacturing, and engineering services. The Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Aviation adds $4.66 billion across 31 awards. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (328 awards, $5.1 million combined value), Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (128 awards, $2.5 million), and US Special Operations Command (93 awards, $561.4 million) complete the customer set. The split between Army and SOCOM work reflects Boeing's dominance in both AH-64E Apache sustainment and light attack/reconnaissance helicopter platforms (A/MH-6 Little Bird, MH-6R) used by special operations forces.

Concrete capability work spans full-spectrum rotorcraft lifecycle support. Representative prime awards include a $4.685 billion definitive contract (November 2025) for design, manufacture, and delivery of 96 AH-64E Apache attack helicopters for Poland, 8 for Kuwait, and 2 for Egypt, with Longbow Crew Trainer simulators, performing through May 2032; a $414.5 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order (January 2022) for AH-64E Apache Remanufacture Version 6X configuration through December 2025; a $186.3 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order (September 2023) for oil-cooled generators and AH-64E remanufacture work through March 2032; a $4.427 million firm-fixed-price delivery order from Special Operations Command (December 2024) for Primary Airframe Structure shells 40-50 for the A/MH-6 Little Bird platform; and a $43.054 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order (September 2022) for improved AH-64 tail rotor blade pre-qualification activities through August 2029. Capability categories across the award footprint emphasize airframe structural components (421 awards), miscellaneous aircraft accessories and components (78 awards), rotary-wing aircraft manufacturing (76 awards), and support-administrative work (229 awards).

Boeing holds five principal IDIQs anchoring its prime position. The largest is Indefinite Delivery Contract W58RGZ04G0011 with the Army, carrying 1,047 task orders valued at $20.3 billion in combined potential value — this is the core $487 million single-award vehicle for AH-64 engineering and services support through February 2031 that gates the vast majority of Apache-related delivery orders. Indefinite Delivery Contract W58RGZ06D0100 carries 91 task orders ($234.8 million combined value); Indefinite Delivery Contract H9222212D0005 (Defense Logistics Agency) carries 41 task orders ($66.9 million); Indefinite Delivery Contract W58RGZ07D0251 carries 38 task orders ($30.5 million); and Indefinite Delivery Contract H9222216D0028 carries 28 task orders ($52.6 million). These vehicles span Army sustainment, DLA logistics support, and specialty engineering services. Boeing also holds single-award IDIQs with US Special Operations Command ($18.3 million ceiling through November 2030 for LittleBird Engineering and Technical Support Services), the Army's Research Development and Engineering Command ($15 million through September 2028 for Mission Systems Flying Test Bed integration), and NASA Ames Research Center ($39.95 million through December 2026 for rotorcraft vertical lift technology development).

Activity has remained flat to declining in the recent data window: 7 awards in 2022, peaking at 12 in 2024, dropping to 8 in 2025, and 1 in 2026 (as of March 11, 2026). This reflects the snapshot nature of the source — the majority of Boeing's federal work sits as delivery orders under existing IDIQs rather than new-award contracts. Seven awards with combined potential value of $7.25 billion reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete risk. The $414.5 million AH-64E Remanufacture Version 6X order and the $186.3 million oil-cooled generators order together account for the majority of near-term exposure.

Boeing's subcontract footprint is minimal (1% of awards) and operationally routed. Recent sub work flows through S & K Logistics Services LLC — a recurring partner providing helicopter transmission, gearbox, rotor blade, and component repairs in support of Army Foreign Military Sales and security assistance enterprise work (December 2025, January 2025, January 2025, August 2024, June 2024, April 2024, February 2024, February 2024, August 2023). Radiance Technologies Inc. provides technical data and integration support for Apache Defensive Electronics System V6 work (October 2024). Boeing's prime awards with named subcontractors include Honeywell International, Goodrich Corporation (Raytheon Technologies), Parker-Hannifin, and Lockheed Martin for AH-64E Apache New Build spare parts; Meggitt (UK) LIMITED, Elbitamerica Inc., Leonardo UK LTD, and Advanced Simulation Technology Inc. for AH-64E Remanufacture; North Atlantic Industries Inc. for flight control computer components; and Weldmac Manufacturing Company (small disadvantaged business) for RAPTR propulsion testing support. The subcontractor mix reflects Boeing's role as systems integrator and platform prime on programs where component, avionics, and propulsion expertise is sourced to specialized suppliers.

Boeing competes full-and-open across its entire federal footprint with no set-aside designations. The company's scale (1,448 awards, $27.6 billion combined potential value, $25.51 billion obligated), market position as the AH-64 original equipment manufacturer, and established prime relationships with the Army and SOCOM position it as the de facto monopoly supplier on Apache sustainment and special operations rotorcraft work. Competitive entry against Boeing's core IDIQ vehicles and recompete opportunities requires either OEM legitimacy on the platform or a demonstrated sub relationship with Boeing or a co-prime arrangement.
