Dec. 19 (UPI) -- The Boeing Co. has been awarded a contract from the U.S. Navy to provide aircraft maintenance, parts and service support for the F/A-18A-F Hornet and the EA-18G Growler.
The Pentagon announced the $79.2 million contract on Monday, which comes under the terms of a cost-plus-fixed-fee, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract, a cost-reimbursement deal that potentially provides additional costs to Boeing depending on a negotiated fee that is predetermined at the inception of the contract.
