Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin company, has received a $433.2 million contract modification to fully fund the fifth program year of the United States Army’s Black Hawk multi-year procurement, expanding deliveries of UH-60M and HH-60M helicopters, according to a government contract announcement.
According to the notice, Sikorsky, based in Stratford, Connecticut, was awarded modification P00087 to contract W58RGZ-22-C-0010. The action provides full funding for Program Year Five under the Black Hawk multi-year ten contract and covers the delivery of nine UH-60M utility helicopters and 15 HH-60M medical evacuation helicopters, along with associated program management.
The work will be performed in Stratford, Connecticut, with an estimated completion date of Dec. 31, 2027. The delivery period for the aircraft covered by this modification runs from July 2026 through December 2027.
With this modification, the total cumulative face value of the Black Hawk multi-year ten contract rises to $4,699,642,384. Fiscal year 2026 aircraft procurement funds for the Army, totaling $433,214,151, were obligated at the time of award.
Army Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, is the contracting activity overseeing the program.
The UH-60M Black Hawk is the latest production variant of the Army’s primary utility helicopter, used for air assault, command and control, logistics, and general support missions. The HH-60M is a specialized medical evacuation version equipped with advanced patient care systems, defensive aids, and mission equipment tailored for casualty evacuation in contested environments.
The aircraft, manufactured by Sikorsky and operated by the U.S. Army, form the backbone of the service’s rotary-wing fleet. Black Hawks are deployed globally and routinely support combat operations, humanitarian assistance, disaster response, and training missions.
Multi-year procurement contracts allow the Army to buy aircraft in economic quantities over several years, providing cost predictability and production stability. The current multi-year ten contract structure reflects the Army’s continued reliance on the Black Hawk platform even as it pursues future vertical lift programs.
