What Does the P-8A Contract Cover?

The sole-source award covers engineering analysis and upgrades to software and associated hardware components of P-8A systems, the Department of War said Friday. The work supports Navy efforts to address obsolescence and improve capabilities.

Work will be performed in Seattle, Washington; St. Louis, Missouri; and Huntington Beach, California. The contract runs through December 2030. No funds were obligated at the time of award; funding will be issued through individual task orders.

How Does the Contract Win Fit Into Boeing’s Broader P-8A Work?

The sustainment contract builds on Boeing’s recent production and modernization awards tied to the Poseidon platform.

In November 2024, Boeing secured a $1.68 billion contract modification to produce and deliver seven Lot 13 P-8A aircraft to the Navy. Earlier, the Navy awarded Boeing a potential $3.4 billion contract to produce 17 P-8A aircraft for Canada and Germany, and a $102.7 million contract modification to modernize the anti-submarine warfare capabilities of the P-8A maritime patrol and reconnaissance aircraft fleet.

Besides anti-submarine warfare, the P-8A Poseidon is designed to conduct anti-surface warfare; intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; and search and rescue missions.
