Naval Air Systems Command awarded Boeing a contract for services in support of the Boeing P-8A Poseidon, an anti-submarine, anti-surface warfare aircraft and maritime patrol platform. The deal, announced Tuesday by the Department of Defense, taps Boeing with a contract worth more than $115.2 million under the modification to a previous contract. The previous award was a fixed-price-incentive-firm target, firm-fixed-price, cost-plus fixed-fee contract that provides for integrated logistics services and site activation for the P-8A Poseidon for the U.S. Navy and Australian government. Work on the contract will occur in the U.S. and Australia, and is expected to be completed in September 2021.

The Pentagon is expected to pay out more than $103.3 million, or what amounts to 90 percent of the total contract value, under a cooperative engagement agreement. Australia will be obligated with the remaining 10 percent, more than $11.8 million.
