# DoD Awards Raytheon $20.7B AMRAAM Contract

The Department of Defense awarded Raytheon, an RTX business, a sole-source, multiyear AMRAAM production contract in late September 2026, with a ceiling of up to **$20.7 billion**, a five-year base period and two option years. The program is intended to nearly double production, with an annual target of at least 1,900 missiles, for U.S. Air Force and Navy forces and Foreign Military Sales customers. The contract ceiling is not fully funded; the detailed award information identifies approximately $154.4 million obligated initially, and work is expected to continue through June 30, 2033. This is an award, not an open solicitation.

- Because the award is sole-source, companies cannot compete for the prime contract; potential opportunities are in Raytheon’s supply chain as production expands. The signals identify no open subcontracting notice or procurement contact.
- Missile component and manufacturing suppliers can assess whether their capabilities align with the stated production ramp and potential demand from U.S. and allied customers.
- Congressional funding remains relevant to contract execution because the full ceiling has not been funded. Suppliers evaluating investment or capacity plans should account for that funding uncertainty.
