Boeing Special Operations Contract: $877.7M Award
Boeing Special Operations contract secures major sustainment funding for rotary‑wing fleets.
The U.S. Department of Defense has awarded Boeing a $877.7 million firm‑fixed‑price delivery order to support U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). The contract funds procurement and sustainment of rotary‑wing aircraft used by Special Operations aviation units, and work is to be performed in Ridley Park, Pennsylvania.
This order reflects continued investment in military aviation capabilities and fleet modernization for NATO‑aligned forces. Boeing will handle logistics, parts supply and sustainment activities to keep special operations helicopters mission‑ready, though the award notice did not list specific airframe models or delivery timelines.
Boeing Special Operations contract: scope and details
Official contract notices characterize the award as a firm‑fixed‑price delivery order issued against an existing vehicle. That means the $877.7M is a committed amount for defined deliverables rather than a time‑and‑materials arrangement. Ridley Park, PA, is listed as the primary performance location for the work effort.

- Purpose: maintain readiness and modernize special operations aviation fleets supporting NATO‑aligned forces.
For readers tracking defense procurement, the award underscores ongoing priorities: sustaining high‑tempo special operations fleets and ensuring parts and maintenance pipelines remain robust.
