The contract with the U.S. Army is worth up to $1.4 billion.\n\n\u201cThe U.S. Army\u2019s decision to award this contract to Bell Textron will directly benefit the workforce in Wichita and is a testament to the vital role of Kansans in our national security,\u201d said Sen. Moran. \u201cAs a member of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, I have supported this critical program from day one. I will continue to use my role in the Senate to ensure that the U.S. warfighter has the necessary technology and resources to complete its mission. Congratulations to Textron CEO Scott Donnelly and the entire Textron leadership team in Wichita.\u201d\n\nItems to Note:\n\nTextron has a significant manufacturing facility in Wichita.\n\nWichita State University\u2019s National Institution for Aviation Research will develop composite materials for the fuselage and rotors.\n\nBell\u2019s V280 Aircraft provides the Army with enhanced speed, range and agility and is scheduled to replace the UH-60 Blackhawk by 2030.\n\nIn addition to work at Textron\u2019s Wichita facility, Spirit AeroSystems produces the aircraft\u2019s fuselage and will see increased work in Kansas.\n\n# # #", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T18:41:06Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.moran.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/news-releases?ID=8FAEB1B5-864F-47E9-9F08-35210A8CCDFB"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.753628021106124, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
