Also, Boeing (NYSE: BA) is being awarded an $80, 914, 538 firm-fixed-price indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract for logistics support services for the Navy’s C-40A aircraft fleet.  Services to be provided include commercial depot support and site support at Naval Air Station (NAS) Jacksonville, Fla.; NAS Joint Reserve Base, Fort Worth, Texas; NAS North Island, Calif.; and NAS Oceana, Va..  Work will be performed in Atlanta, Ga.
