Leidos awarded a $987 million contract to support F-16 Foreign Military Sales sustainment.

Leidos announced a new contract to provide critical engineering and sustainment services for Foreign Military Sales customers of the U.S. Air Force’s F-16 Fighting Falcon. The contract was awarded by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, which supports the F-16 System Program Office. The single-award, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract has a maximum value of $987 million and a 10-year performance period.

“We leveraged our corporate investments in AI and predictive analytics to provide our customer with a data-informed platform to increase efficiency, visibility, and accountability,” said Roy Stevens, Leidos National Security Sector president. “This win underlines Leidos’ commitment to supporting the U.S. Air Force and our allies, ensuring high resilience and interoperability.”

Under the contract, Leidos will provide post-production support through critical engineering and sustainment services necessary for the continued operation and improvement of the F-16 weapon system. The Leidos Web Based Management System will enable the customer to maintain real-time visibility of repair asset tracking status for the repair and return lifecycle. This technology is designed to enhance the customer’s repair and return process, improve engineering and technical support resolution, and help reduce diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortages.

The F-16 has been procured by over 25 nations worldwide, supporting a global fleet of approximately 2,200 active aircraft.
