Sierra Nevada Corp. has secured a $29.7 million contract from the U.S. Air Force for the long-term maintenance of the Royal Saudi Air Force’s King Air 350ER aircraft.
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center awarded the firm-fixed-price contract on Friday. It involves foreign military sales to Saudi Arabia and covers the provision of field service representatives, program management services, repairs and manufacturing support for the Beechcraft-manufactured jets. According to a Department of Defense notice, work under the sole-source acquisition will be performed in Hagerstown, Maryland, and Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia, with completion expected by April 30, 2029.

This latest award follows other recent U.S. DOD contracts secured by SNC.

In August, SNC won a $991.3 million contract to deliver aerial ISR jets to the U.S. Army for the High Accuracy Detection and Exploitation System program.
