WICHITA (BNS): Boeing has received a C-40A Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) contract from the US Navy. The five-year contract is valued at more than $100 million.

The C-40A CLS contract supports the Navy's fleet of nine aircraft currently in service. Boeing is on contract to deliver three more C-40As, which are scheduled to enter service in 2010 and 2011.
