Vertex Aerospace will provide intermediate, organizational and depot-level engineering, logistics and maintenance services for the service branch’s T-45 fleet, the Defense Department said Wednesday.
The modification exercises an option under a previously indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity requirements contract and work runs through September 2018.
Work will occur at multiple naval air stations in Texas, Mississippi, Florida and Maryland.
T-45 is built to prepare U.S. Marine Corps and Navy pilots for carrier aviation and tactical strike missions.
