The Defense Microelectronics Activity has awarded Boeing a position on the Advanced Technology Support Program V contract, a multiple-award vehicle with a ceiling of $25.36 billion intended to help the Department of War rapidly field emerging microelectronics technologies and address electronics obsolescence.
ATSP V carries a five-year base ordering period with two option periods of three and two years, establishing a potential 10-year performance window, DOW said Friday. Fiscal 2026 funds totaling $5,000 were obligated at the time of the initial task order award.
Work locations and funding levels will be determined as individual task orders are issued.
The 2026 Defense R&D Summit on Jan. 29 will feature expert-led discussions on the technologies revolutionizing the future of warfare. Register now to join the conversation.
What Is the ATSP V Program?
ATSP V is DMEA’s latest iteration of its long-running Advanced Technology Support Program, designed to accelerate engineering development and transition of advanced technologies across the defense enterprise.
The program supports hardware and software engineering activities such as analysis, design, fabrication, prototyping, testing, integration and production. It aims to strengthen the microelectronics supply chain and close capability gaps to keep pace with evolving threats.
The ATSP V request for proposals was released in March 2025 and was initially estimated at $1 billion. Seventeen offers were received through the competitive procurement process.
Which Companies Are Competing Under ATSP V?
Earlier this month, DMEA announced the first group of companies selected for ATSP V task order eligibility. That initial cohort included Battelle Memorial Institute, General Dynamics Mission Systems, HII Mission Technologies, L3Harris Technologies, Leidos, Northrop Grumman Systems, Raytheon, The Charles Stark Draper Laboratory and Vertex Aerospace.
Boeing’s award places the company among the contractors eligible to compete for future engineering development task orders issued under the program.
How Does ATSP V Build on Prior DMEA Efforts?
ATSP V succeeds the Advanced Technology Support Program IV, which was originally awarded in 2016 and later expanded through a major contract modification in 2020. That modification increased ATSP IV’s potential value to $17.47 billion and extended its ordering period through March 31, 2026.
