What Raytheon defense programs list Frantzve as a subcontractor or supplier since 2015?
Executive summary
Available public records in the provided search results do not list any Raytheon defense programs that name a person “Frantzve” as a subcontractor or supplier since 2015; the only potentially relevant records are a USAspending contract page that is not readable in the search snippet [1] and two opinion pieces that claim a Kent Frantzve was “chair” of Raytheon’s Israel division but offer no primary contracting evidence [2] [3].
1. What the searchable records show — an absent contractor trail
The only government-contracting record returned by the search is a Raytheon contract entry on USAspending [1], but the snippet and metadata available here do not reveal subcontractor names or anyone named Frantzve; the page content itself was not provided in the results, so available sources do not mention any Raytheon program listing “Frantzve” as a subcontractor or supplier [1].
2. Claims in commentary and their provenance
Two opinion/analysis items (an Unz Review piece and a Substack post) repeatedly state that “Kent Frantzve” once chaired Raytheon’s Israel division and link the family to Raytheon and projects such as Iron Dome, but these are secondary claims without cited contracting documents in the snippets provided [2] [3]. Those pieces are commentary and do not substitute for procurement records [2] [3].
3. Documentary evidence vs. rumor: what’s missing
The search returns no contract-level documentation, purchase orders, or supplier lists that identify Frantzve as a named subcontractor/supplier to Raytheon since 2015; therefore any definitive statement that Raytheon defense programs listed Frantzve cannot be made from these sources. The USAspending entry might contain detailed data, but the snippet provided here is unusable for verification [1].
4. How to verify properly — public procurement trails to check
To establish whether a person or firm named Frantzve subcontracted to Raytheon, one should consult primary procurement sources: USAspending award detail pages (full view), Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS), Raytheon/RTX subcontractor disclosures, and state procurement registries where Raytheon operates. The current search results include only one government contract entry [1] and do not provide those details.
5. Context on the commentary’s assertions and potential agendas
The two commentary sources link family biography to defense work and mention Raytheon and Iron Dome [2] [3]. Such pieces often advance a narrative tying individuals to defense programs; they can reflect political or conspiratorial framing and should be treated as claims requiring documentary corroboration. The opinion nature of [2] and [3] suggests possible editorial agendas; neither shows procurement records in the provided excerpts.
6. Limitations of the current reporting and next steps
This analysis is limited to the four provided search results. Those results do not provide a searchable database extract or a readable contract document that names subcontractors [1]. To move forward, obtain the full USAspending contract page, FPDS award data, Raytheon supplier disclosures, or court filings if any; absent those, available sources do not mention specific Raytheon defense programs listing “Frantzve” since 2015 [1] [2] [3].
