Boeing Wins $11B Foreign Military Sale for Saudi F-15s

Boeing Co. has won an $11, 399, 100, 000 U.S. Air Force contract to provide F-15 aircraft under a foreign military sales agreement, the Defense Department announced Thursday.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will purchase 84 F-15s and associated accessories under the firm-fixed-price, cost-plus-fixed-fee contract.

Boeing will also retrofit aircraft under this undefinitized contract action.

Production will occur in El Segundo, Calif., Ocala, Fla., and Cedar Rapids, Iowa with an expected completion date of October 2020.

The U.S. agreed to sell F-15s to Saudi Arabia in December as part of a $29.4 billion agreement. Congress approved a $60 billion sale of military hardware last year to Saudi Arabia.

The U.S. also offered to sell Apache and AH-6i helicopters.
