Navy Selects 3 Companies for $246M F-5 Aircraft Engine Support Contract

Three companies have won spots on a potential nine-year, $246 million contract to inspect, repair and test complete engines that power fighter jets commonly used for the Navy’s simulated air-to-air combat training.

Aero Turbine, RUAG Space and U.S. Turbine & Accessory will compete for individual orders to perform support work on J85-GE-21C engines for the F-5N/F adversary aircraft, according to a notice posted Monday on SAM.gov.

The Department of Defense said services will occur at the contractors’ facilities in California, Switzerland and Michigan through June 2028.

Four offers were submitted to the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division for the procurement effort via a competitive acquisition.

The multiple-award indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract has a five-year base period, valued at $120.8 million, followed by four option years and an additional six-month extension.
