Strategic engineering initiative: Boeing awarded $36M to address component obsolescence in MQ-25 Stingray

The Boeing Co., St. Louis, Missouri, is awarded a cost-plus-incentive-fee $36,000,000 modification (P00063) to a previously awarded fixed-price incentive (firm-target), cost-plus-incentive-fee contract (N0001918C1012). This modification adds scope to provide non-recurring engineering for the preliminary design review of six sub-systems to mitigate component obsolescence in support of MQ-25 Stingray low-rate initial production for the Navy. Work will be performed in Endicott, New York (35%); Saint Louis, Missouri (23%); Cedar Rapids, Iowa (16%); Clearwater, Florida (11%), San Diego, California (8%); and Melbourne, Florida (7%), and is expected to be completed in April 2024. Fiscal 2023 research, development, test and evaluation (Navy) funds in the amount of $10,591,776 will be obligated at the time of award, all of which will expire at the end of the current fiscal year. Naval Air Systems Command, Patuxent River, Maryland, is the contracting activity.
