Contract scope (original)

CH-47F MULTI-YEAR CONTRACT FOR NEW BUILD AND REMANUFACTURE AIRCRAFTS

Key points

  • Obligated value is about $4.379 billion; the recipient is The Boeing Company, the branch is the Army, and the period runs August 2008 to December 2015.
  • The description covers both new build and remanufacture of CH-47F transport helicopters under a multi-year contract.
  • Remanufacture takes an existing airframe apart, inspects and reinforces the structure and replaces systems, approaching a new aircraft inside.
  • Putting both in one contract levels production, giving the supplier steady employment and facilities.
  • Of the 207 defense contracts this site holds as of 2026-09-02, 40 carry the Army as branch.

1Remanufacture as a form of procurement

Renewing equipment is not only a matter of building new. There is remanufacture: taking an existing airframe apart, inspecting and reinforcing the structure, replacing systems with newer models and putting it back together. From outside it is the same type; inside it approaches a new aircraft. This contract covers new build and remanufacture together.

2Two methods side by side

New buildRemanufacture
The airframe is built from scratchAn existing airframe is taken apart and rebuilt
Costly, but airframe age starts at zeroLower cost while renewing systems and structure
Requires standing up a production lineRequires bringing in existing airframes

The gain from putting both in one contract is levelling production. New build alone lets demand swings hit the line directly; combining remanufacture evens the workload. For the supplier that means steady employment and facilities; for the buyer it supports stable unit cost.

3The multi-year frame

MULTI-YEAR CONTRACT appears in the description — the arrangement gathering several fiscal years into one order, which also appears in shipbuilding among the defense contracts this site covers. The period runs August 2008 to December 2015, about 7.3 years, below the 10.7-year median across the 207 defense contracts this site holds as of 2026-09-02. Aircraft turn over faster than ships, and contract periods follow.

4Where an Army contract sits

Of the 207 defense contracts this site holds as of 2026-09-02, 40 carry the Army as branch. Transport helicopters underpin Army lift and mobility and bear directly on how units operate. Total outlays on the record are $0, a state shared by 115 of the 207 records (56 percent) at that date.

Why it matters

Equipment renewal proceeds through a mix of new build and remanufacture. Putting both in one contract levels production and bears directly on the supplier employment and facilities planning.

FAQ

What data is this?
A single Department of Defense (DoD) federal procurement contract recorded in "USAspending," the U.S. open government-spending dataset. The recipient, awarding component, value, and scope are public. This site is not an official U.S. government website.
What is remanufacture?
Taking an existing airframe apart, inspecting and reinforcing the structure and replacing systems with newer models before reassembly. From outside it is the same type; inside it approaches a new aircraft.
Is the amount final?
It is a cumulative figure as of collection. Large defense contracts accumulate modifications over many years, so amounts change. The latest figure is available at the source, USAspending.
