Boeing F-15 Eagle Crest: $131.23 B Announced, $0 M Obligated So Far
An announced ceiling of $131.23 billion. Nothing is reported for this PIID as of October 6, 2026.
Intro
What is announced on the F-15 Eagle Crest contract, and what has USAspending reported so far?
The headline number is an announced ceiling of $131,230,000,000 ($131.23 billion) on FA8634-26-D-B001. DefDex serving data is as of 2026-10-06. Nothing is reported for this PIID, so obligated so far is $0. The ceiling is not spending. The announcement's $343,740 at award is a separate obligated figure and is not added to the ceiling.
Key takeaways
- The August 24, 2026 announcement states an announced ceiling of $131,230,000,000 on FA8634-26-D-B001.
- Obligated so far is $0: no serving row matches that PIID as of 2026-10-06.
- The announcement's $343,740 is obligated at award, not the ceiling, and it is not added to either figure.
- DoD contract actions appear about 90 days late, so an empty result is not evidence the contract was not awarded.
The Announcement
On August 24, 2026, the Department of War contracts list said: "The Boeing Co., St. Louis, Missouri, has been awarded a $131,230,000,000 ceiling, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract for the F-15 Eagle Crest in support of the F-15 Program Office." The PIID is FA8634-26-D-B001. The contracting activity is the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. The same paragraph says: "Fiscal 2026 research, development, test and evaluation funds in the amount of $343,740 are being obligated at the time of award." That $343,740 is obligated at award. It is not the announced ceiling.
Obligated So Far
Nothing is reported for this PIID. public.summary_awards has no row whose piid or parent_piid is FA8634-26-D-B001 or FA863426DB001. Action count, first action date, last action date, and obligated dollars are absent, so obligated so far is $0. The $343,740 is not used in place of that figure.
Buying Office
No buying office is on a serving row. The announcement names one contracting activity, the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio.
What to Watch
Delivery orders under FA8634-26-D-B001, and whether the $343,740 posts as a reported action.
Reporting Lag
DoD contract actions appear about 90 days late, so "obligated so far" means "reported so far." An August 24 award can be missing from a file dated October 6. An empty result is not evidence the contract was not awarded.

Serving generation 20261023T015323Z, source data as of 2026-10-06, loaded 2026-10-23 00:06 Pacific, public build 89 at 2026-10-23 21:16 Pacific: 4,057,578 promoted awards and 12,424,350 actions, DoD, DHS, DOE, and NASA, FY2008–FY2027, including negative and zero actions. Every IDV is promoted. A definitive contract is promoted at $100,000 of gross positive obligations. The newest action date, including agency 097, is 2026-10-02, and that is not a complete file through that day. Flood insurance (CFDA 97.022), DHS disaster assistance, and non-research assistance are separate lines and are not in this award. This note states no requested amount and no enacted amount. The dollars it does state are an announced ceiling or an obligation, and those two are not added.
