Pratt & Whitney, a subsidiary of Raytheon Technologies (NYSE: RTX), will provide F-135 propulsion system spare parts and associated equipment to U.S. and international defense customers under an $888 million contract modification from Naval Air Systems Command.
This award covers the procurement of parts; modules; packaging, handling, shipping and transportation material; support equipment; and depot lay-in material for engine technology that powers F-35 jets, the Department of Defense said Monday.
Using customers are the U.S. Air Force, Marine Corps, Navy, non-DOD organizations and foreign military sales customers.
Ninety-one percent of work will occur in Connecticut and the rest in Maine and various locations within the continental U.S. The Pentagon expects work to be completed by December 2026.
NAVAIR awarded Pratt & Whitney a $579.8 million initial contract in September 2020 to support propulsion spares requirements.
