Boeing Co. received a $1.1 billion contract from the Department of Defense to support the operation and maintenance of the C-17 Globemaster III, the company said Tuesday.

The award is part of the fiscal year 2009 C-17 Globemaster III Sustainment Partnership, which includes a previous award of $514 million for the first six months of fiscal 2009, and extends the work to September of this year.

Although the C-17 is built in Long Beach, much of the support work is conducted at 10 U.S. Air Force bases and at one base each for the U.K. Royal Air Force, the Canadian Forces and the Royal Australian Air Force.
