GF, this little bit of info was in your link:

The Boeing Co., Defense, Space, & Security, St. Louis, Missouri, has been awarded a $6,173,500,000 undefinitized contract action contract for the F-15 Qatar program. This contract provides for the foreign military sales (FMS) requirement to procure 36 new F-15QA aircraft for the Qatar Emiri Air Force.

I worked at McDonnell-Douglas in St. Louis (now Boeing) when I finished at Auburn  I worked on the military side (F-4's) and not commercial.  One of the reasons these projects are so costly is we were and are high priced, gold-plated engineers!
