Boeing Forms German Heavy-Lift Helicopter Contract Pursuit Team; Michael Hostetter Comments - top government contractors - best government contracting eventBoeing will lead a team of 10 aerospace technology suppliers in pursuit of a nearly $5 billion contract to build heavy-lift helicopters for the German military, Reuters reported Wednesday.

Michael Hostetter, director of Boeing’s vertical lift programs in Germany, told reporters at a Berlin airshow the company can potentially add partners to join its bidding team depending on the country’s helicopter procurement requirements.

The report said Hostetter expects the German government to issue a request for proposals later this year or in early 2019.

He told Reuters the Chicago-based contractor looks to offer a foxtrot or an extended-range variant of the H-47 Chinook multirole platform.

Boeing lists these companies as its German STH helicopter bid teammates:

  • AERO-Bildungs
  • Aircraft Philipp
  • CAE Elektronik
  • COTESA
  • Diehl Defence
  • Honeywell
  • Liebherr-Aerospace
