The Pentagon said Friday the U.S. Air Force modified a contract with Boeing Co. (BA) to provide parts, repairs and technical services for Joint Direct Attack Munitions.

The Joint Direct Attack Munitions kit converts conventional ordnance to precision-guided munitions.

The modification extends the contract for five years and increases the contract ceiling by $6.53 billion, to $10.04 billion, the Pentagon said.

The modification involves foreign military sales to currently unknown countries, the Pentagon said.

Work will be done in St. Louis and is expected to be done by the end of February 2025.
