The U.S. Department of Defense has awarded Boeing a contract valued at up to $49.7 million to support the sustainment of Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) F-15 fighter aircraft, the Pentagon announced.
According to the June 18 award notice, the letter contract covers logistics and repair services for F-15C, D, S, and SA variants operated by the RSAF under the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program.
Work will be conducted in St. Louis, Missouri, and at RSAF bases in Saudi Arabia, with completion expected by June 20, 2026.
The contract was issued as a sole-source acquisition by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia. At the time of award, $23.2 million in non-appropriated FMS funds were obligated.
In a statement accompanying the award, the Department of Defense said the agreement includes the repair and return of unclassified aircraft components, procurement of support equipment, and integration and training support for RSAF personnel.
Boeing will also refurbish and replace Saudi-owned aerospace ground equipment, special-purpose vehicles, and fire and safety vehicles as part of the comprehensive sustainment package.
The F-15SA, a heavily upgraded variant of the F-15 Strike Eagle, includes fly-by-wire controls, AESA radar, digital electronic warfare systems, and a redesigned cockpit.
While the U.S. maintains a robust FMS relationship with multiple partners in the Gulf region, Saudi Arabia remains one of the largest purchasers of American defense equipment. The new contract reflects ongoing U.S. commitments to supporting allied readiness through logistics and sustainment agreements.
The Pentagon confirmed that the Boeing sustainment contract does not involve any appropriated U.S. taxpayer funds, as all financing is sourced from Saudi Arabia under FMS protocols.
