Raytheon Co. will supply spare components for the U.S. Navy's F/A-18 aircraft fleet after receiving three delivery orders that together total a maximum of $42,482,605, the Department of Defense announced.
The orders were placed under a five-year basic ordering agreement designated N00383-23-G-SV01. They were awarded as sole-source acquisitions under 10 U.S. Code 3204 (a)(1) in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1, and none of the three delivery orders include option periods.
The largest of the three awards is a firm-fixed-price contract valued at $17,214,276 and carries a two-year performance window, with a completion date set for July 14, 2028. The second delivery order is for $15,072,015 with a performance period of one year and nine months ending May 11, 2028. The third order totals $10,196,314 and likewise spans one year and nine months, scheduled for completion on May 1, 2028.
Funding for these orders will come from Navy defense working capital funds for fiscal years 2026 through 2028. Raytheon, which is based in McKinney, Texas, will fulfill the contracts by providing spare parts to support the operational needs of the F/A-18 aircraft fleet.
All three delivery orders list the Defense Logistics Agency Weapons Support in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as the contracting activity responsible for administering the awards.
These awards represent discrete, time-bound work to keep the F/A-18 fleet supplied with necessary spare components. The absence of option periods means any continuation or expansion beyond the stated delivery orders would require separate contractual action. The using of defense working capital funds ties contract execution and payment streams to the specified fiscal years.
