Pratt & Whitney has received a $1.09 billion contract from the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation to provide parts and program management services for the U.S. Air Force’s F100 engines.
What Does the Contract Cover?
The Department of Defense said the agreement provides consumable and depot-level repairable parts for the F100 afterburning turbofan engine, which powers the F-15 Eagle and the F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft operated by the United States and allied forces. The latest variant, the F100-PW-229, is a high-performance turbofan capable of generating 29,160 pounds of thrust. Its design, featuring an overall pressure ratio of 32 to 1, has allowed the F100 family to accumulate more than 30 million total flight hours across a global fleet of F-15 and F-16 aircraft using over 3,800 F100 engines.
The contract includes a five-year base period and an option for an additional five years, allowing work to continue through 2035 if all options are exercised. Funding will come from fiscal 2025 through 2030 defense working capital funds.
Why Was the Contract Awarded as a Sole Source?
DLA Aviation awarded the contract as a sole-source procurement under 10 U.S. Code 3204(a)(1), which permits single-source awards when only one provider can supply the required parts. Pratt & Whitney is the original equipment manufacturer of the F100 engine.
