# Air Force Awards $20.7B Tucson AMRAAM Contract

On September 25, 2026, the U.S. Air Force awarded Raytheon a sole-source, fixed-price incentive contract valued at $20.699 billion for AMRAAM Production Lots 41–47. The award covers missiles, telemetry sets, spares, and related production components for U.S. and Foreign Military Sales demand, with work in Tucson, Arizona, scheduled through June 30, 2033. No missile quantity or contract number was reported. The sole-source award makes Raytheon the prime production source for these lots, while the signal identifies subcontracting and component support as the clearest potential entry points for other suppliers.

- The contract supports Air Force efforts to increase missile inventories and creates a long production period for suppliers supporting components, spares, telemetry, and related manufacturing needs.
- Because the award is sole-source, companies seeking participation should focus on potential subcontracting or component-support opportunities with Raytheon rather than anticipate a competing prime award for these lots.
- The extracted procurement history also lists a February 2026 RTX framework agreement targeting at least 1,900 AMRAAMs annually and a $3.5 billion award for Lots 39 and 40, indicating continued production activity across multiple lots.
