Boeing has been awarded two U.S. military contract modifications with a combined value of approximately $47.7 million to support the CH-47F Chinook helicopter and KC-135 aerial refueling aircraft programs.
The awards include a $33.9 million U.S. Army modification involving the CH-47F Block I Chinook production line and an estimated $13.8 million Defense Logistics Agency modification supporting KC-135 fan duct spares for the U.S. Air Force.
Together, the two actions are valued at $47,715,520.
The larger award is a $33,881,195 modification to Boeing’s contract W58RGZ-23-F-0395 to add country-specific requirements for South Korea to the CH-47F Block I Chinook helicopter production line.
The modification increases the total cumulative face value of that contract to $827,391,197.
One bid was solicited for the CH-47F work and one bid was received.
Work locations and funding will be determined with each order, with an estimated completion date of October 31, 2029.
Army Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, is the contracting activity.
Boeing also received an estimated $13,834,325 cost-plus-fixed-fee definitized modification from the Defense Logistics Agency for the manufacture and production of KC-135 fan duct transactional spares.
That modification, identified as P00003, was issued to delivery order SPRTA1-24-F-0323 under five-year subsumable base contract SPRPA1-24-D-001E.
The KC-135 award was made on a sole-source basis under 10 U.S. Code 3204(a)(1), as stated in Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.103-1.
The overall KC-135 contract has an eight-year period of performance with no option periods and is scheduled for completion on March 30, 2034.
Fiscal 2024 defense working capital funds will support the KC-135 work.
Boeing’s Oklahoma City operations received the KC-135 modification, with Defense Logistics Agency Weapons Support at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, serving as the contracting activity.
The two awards give Boeing additional long-term work across separate Army and Air Force aviation programs, covering both new helicopter production requirements and sustainment-related spare parts for an existing aircraft fleet.
