Raytheon Strategic Communications Terminals: $8 B Announced, $0 M Obligated So Far

On October 13, 2026, the Department of War contracts list said: "Raytheon Co., Marlborough, Massachusetts, has been awarded an $8,000,000,000 maximum ceiling, cost-plus-fixed-fee, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract for the procurement of terminal developmental modernization, production restart services, and technical studies associated with Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center’s Strategic Communications Terminals." "Fiscal 2026 research, development, test and evaluation funds in the amount of $800,000 are being obligated at time of award." "The Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center, Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts, is the contracting activity (FA2293-27-D-B001)." The $8,000,000,000 is an announced ceiling. The $800,000 is obligated at award. The two are not added.

The stored paragraph also contains an L3Harris modification (FA8823-20-C-0004, $2,419,579 obligated at award) and an ITA International modification (FA4890-22-F-0024, $20,425,747 obligated at award). Those are not this vehicle and are not added. With the $800,000 they sum to $23,645,326, the row's obligated_at_award, which this note does not use.

Nothing is reported for FA2293-27-D-B001. public.summary_awards has no row for that PIID or for FA229327DB001. Obligated so far is $0. The $800,000 is not used in place of that figure. The row's match_status is multiple and usaspending_award_key is null.

No buying office is on a serving row for this PIID. The Raytheon sentence names the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center, Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts. The stored contracting-activity column names Langley, which is the third award's office, and this note does not use it for Raytheon.

Single-award IDIQ. The announcement calls it a sole source acquisition. One company holds the maximum ceiling. It is not a multiple-award IDIQ, a pooled ceiling, or an OTA. Work is expected to be completed by Oct. 12, 2036.

Delivery orders under FA2293-27-D-B001, and whether the $800,000 posts as a reported action.

DoD contract actions appear about 90 days late, so "obligated so far" means "reported so far." An October 13 award is outside a file dated October 6. An empty result is expected.

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.

No organization slug raytheon is in public.organizations. The slug rtx exists. No serving row reports an owner for this PIID, so this note does not attach the vehicle to RTX. No program page is linked. There is no DefDex award page and no USAspending award page for FA2293-27-D-B001. A keyword search on 2026-10-24 returned no row.
