Department of Defense announced June 26 that Sikorsky Aircraft Corp.,
Stratford, Connecticut, has been awarded a $1,277,618,606
fixed-price-incentive-firm at target price/firm-fixed-price contract for

completed by June 2029, if all options are exercised. This award is the
result of a competitive acquisition. If all options are exercised, the
total contract amount is estimated at $7,900,000,000.
One offer was received in response to the solicitation issued Oct. 19,
2012. Fiscal 2013 and 2014 research, development, test and evaluation
funds in the amount of $298,458,978 are being obligated at time of
