Boeing Gets Contract Modification Worth More Than $22 Million

The U.S. Naval Air Command will exercise an option to buy more than 2,000 additional weapons.

Hazelwood-based has been awarded a modification to a federal contract, and it’s worth $22,775,806, according to the U.S. Department of Defense.

The contract was previously a “firm-fixed-price” contract, but the U.S. Navy exercised an option to purchase 2,384 direct-attack moving-target weapons, including shipping containers.

The work will happen in St. Charles and is expected to be completed in Feb. 2014.
