Conti Federal Services has been awarded a significant contract worth over $135 million to build a state-of-the-art maintenance hangar for the B-21 Raider at Ellsworth Air Force Base.
It indicated a major step forward in the readiness and capabilities of the United States Air Force’s long-range strike arsenal.
The contract, awarded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Omaha District, encompasses the construction of an 80,000 square foot two-bay hangar facility, along with associated airfield apron, site features, utilities, and infrastructure necessary for maintaining the B-21 Raider, the Air Force’s next-generation stealth bomber.
Ellsworth Air Force Base, designated as the first main operating base for the B-21 Raider, will see significant enhancements in its operational capacity and support for the Air Force’s long-range strike capabilities.
This development is crucial for bolstering national security and ensuring the Air Force’s readiness.
This is the fourth infrastructure contract awarded to Conti Federal at Ellsworth Air Force Base under the B-21 beddown program.
The company is also working on a Radio Frequency Hangar, Weapons Loader Training Facility, and Fuel Systems Maintenance Dock.
“This most recent award is a critical project to the B-21 mission at Ellsworth Air Force Base as it interfaces with many current and future beddown projects,” said Ryan Kanzleiter, Conti Federal’s Vice President of Business Development for the United States.
“We are looking forward to continuing our partnership with USACE Omaha to deliver another project safely, with sound quality and mission-focus.”
The project is expected to be completed by May 2027.
