The Pentagon handed out $717.7 million worth of defense contracts on Monday, with Boeing (BA -2.87%) capturing 10% (two) of the 20 contracts awarded. Specifically, Boeing won:
- a $52.9 million modification of a previously awarded firm-fixed-price Navy contract to supply jumper bundles, pylons, and bomb racks for installation on F/A-18E/F fighter jets and EA-18G electronic warfare aircraft. The named parts are hardware to which ordnance is attached on a warplane. Boeing's estimated delivery date on the hardware is May 2016.
- a $7.7 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order, placed under a previously issued basic ordering agreement.
