The US Navy has awarded Boeing a contract valued at $319.3 million to deliver sustainment support for the F/A-18 automated maintenance environment system.
The indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract includes sustainment engineering, engineering investigations, system safety analysis, structural appraisal of fatigue effects support, technical integration support, trade studies, and aerodynamic simulation and modeling support.
Maintenance planning product data support, configuration management support, and peculiar support equipment (PSE) management to include analysis of aircraft changes for PSE impact are also outlined in the scope of work.
Additionally, Boeing will provide failure reporting, corrective action system maintenance, and software upgrades and training to support fleet maintenance activities.
The contractor must also ensure interactive electronic technical manuals are updated and released to the fleet, and provide on-site assistance to operators and maintenance personnel at various levels to help maintain the network of Hornet Support Centers.
This support is for the F/A-18 and EA-18G aircraft used by the Navy, Marine Corps, and foreign military sales customers.
The work will be performed primarily in Missouri, with additional work in California, Ohio, Virginia, and other US locations.
The contract is expected to be completed by December 2028.
