The undefinitized contract action was awarded on Oct. 30, 2014, at a maximum amount of $1.7 billion. That amount has since increased by $1.5 billion due to warfighter demand and to replenish depleted inventories.

Work is expected to complete by Sept. 29, 2020. This contract involves foreign military sales (FMS). Boeing develops JDAM.
