Boeing has been Awarded a New Hill Air Force Base Contract Valued at $559 Million over a Five-Year Period

Under the agreement, Boeing will continue to "operate, maintain and perform testing at the Little Mountain Test Facility at Hill Air Force Base (in westernmost Ogden) Utah. The state-of-the-art site is designed to test functionality of the nation’s current and future intercontinental ballistic missile force, nuclear modernization programs and other critical defense and deterrence capabilities in the most extreme environments."

The United States Air Force has awarded The Boeing Company (NYSE:BA) a new five-year contract valued at $559 million to continue to "operate, maintain, and perform testing at the Little Mountain Test Facility at Hill Air Force Base (in westernmost Ogden), Utah."

In plain English, the Boeing news release explains that Boeing's work at HAFB's Little Mountain Test Facility —

"... is designed to test functionality of the nation’s current and future intercontinental ballistic missile force, nuclear modernization programs and other critical defense and deterrence capabilities in the most extreme environments."

According to Boeing, it has

"... operated and maintained the Little Mountain Test Facility and site operations — including radiation effects, electromagnetic effects, shock and vibration, and other environmental testing — for 50 years."

In describing the new contract, Ted Kerzie, acting vice president of Boeing Strategic Missile & Defense Systems said, “Our world-class Boeing test engineers are the very best at what they do, and we’re honored to continue to support the nation in this capacity.”

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Boeing's announcement was officially made on 2 April 2024, at which point we were not publishing. However, due to the size of the contract, plus its import to HAFB, the City of Ogden, and the citizens of the region, we at Utah Money Watch decided to publish this brief article about this news.
