Strike Fighter Sustainment: Boeing to Extend Service Life of F/A-18E/F and EA-18G Fleets

The Boeing Co., St. Louis, Missouri, was awarded a $25,733,480 modification (P00005) to a previously awarded cost-plus-fixed-fee, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract (N0001920D0051). This modification adds scope to provide continued support of the F/A-18E/F and EA-18G Service Life Assessment Program and Service Life Extension Program for the Navy and Royal Australian Air Force. This support includes assessment of fatigue life of the structure, developing change proposals and solutions to address issues hindering the aircraft’s life extension, and planning for the physical modification of the aircraft to achieve service life goals. Work will be performed in St. Louis, Missouri (50%) and El Segundo, California (50%) and is expected to be complete by September 2028. No funds will be obligated at the time of award; funds will be obligated on individual orders as they are issued. This contract action was not competed. Naval Air Systems Command, Patuxent River, Maryland, is the contracting activity. (Awarded April 25, 2025)
