RTX, through its Pratt & Whitney Military Engines business, has received a $32.2 million contract modification to provide sustainment support for F135 propulsion systems used in the F-35 Lightning II fighter aircraft program.
The cost-plus-incentive-fee modification exercises an option under an existing contract to provide recurring maintenance and repair support for the propulsion systems.
The work includes repair-of-repairables services associated with the F135 engines used in the F-35A conventional takeoff and landing aircraft and the F-35C carrier-based variant.
The agreement supports the U.S. Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, F-35 cooperative program partners, and Foreign Military Sales customers.
The modification is valued at $32,181,162.
Work will be performed across several U.S. facilities and international locations supporting the F-35 program.
Approximately 40% of the work will take place in East Hartford, Connecticut, followed by Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, at 21%, and Indianapolis, Indiana, at 12%.
Additional domestic work will occur in West Palm Beach, Florida; Windsor Locks, Connecticut; and Fort Worth, Texas.
International performance locations include Norway, the Netherlands, Japan, Australia, Italy, and the United Kingdom.
The work is expected to be completed by November 2027.
The contract will receive funding from multiple military services and international program participants.
The Air Force will obligate approximately $16.5 million, the Navy approximately $4.2 million, and the Marine Corps approximately $1.6 million.
F-35 cooperative program partners will contribute approximately $5.7 million, while Foreign Military Sales customers will provide approximately $4.2 million.
The modification was not competitively procured.
Naval Air Systems Command at Patuxent River, Maryland, serves as the contracting activity.
The modification, identified as P00009, was issued under contract N00019-26-C-0112.
The award supports continued maintenance and operational availability of F135 propulsion systems across the U.S. military and international F-35 customer base.
