Defense Manufacturing Contracts — March 06, 2026

Small minority-owned SES won full open competition for Multirole Enforcement Aircraft, with full obligation and $57.5M outlayed, validating capabilities in NAICS 336411.

Firm-fixed-price terms risk losses if manufacturing costs exceed bid amid $69.5M subawards to 22 recipients.

Extended performance to Oct 2027 heightens delivery and integration uncertainties for CBP.

$85M full obligation delivers revenue visibility through 2027 for SES in aircraft manufacturing.

CBP's multi-role enforcement aircraft focus may spawn follow-ons beyond this $85M order.

Minority-owned small business SES captured $85M full-open aircraft contract for CBP, bypassing larger primes via NAICS 336411 capabilities.
