The US Department of Defense is seeking to ink an agreement with tech giant Raytheon Technologies to support the Pentagon with technical assistance on the Patriot air defense system that will be delivered to Ukraine's armed forces, a post on the government's System for Award Management (SAM) website read on Saturday.

On December 21, 2022, the US announced a $1.85 billion in military assistance package for Ukraine, with the assistance consisting of a Patriot air defense system. 

"RTX [Raytheon Technologies] shall provide TA to consist of advice and assistance in the planning, operation, maintenance, repair, and sustainment of the Ukraine Air Defense PATRIOT Weapon System, associated equipment and logistics support elements," the posting read.

The Pentagon expects to receive a commercial offer solely from Raytheon Technologies, which specializes in the manufacture of the weapon system.

However, other companies have been encouraged to contact Raytheon for subcontracting opportunities.
