GE contracted for repair services on Super Hornet, Growler aircraft
Washington (UPI) Jan 10, 2018 - Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support has awarded General Electric with a contract for services in support of the F/A-18 E-F Super Hornet and EA-18G Growler.

The $74 million contract, announced by the Department of Defense on Tuesday, is a six-month contract calling for "performance-based logistics requirements," repairs and program support.

Specifically, the contract taps General Electric to support the repair of 773 F414 engine components of the F/A-18 E and F, as well as the EA-18G aircraft.

The work, for the most part, will be completed at a variety of General Electric supplier locations, with some also expected to be done at the Fleet Readiness Center Southeast in Jacksonville, Fla.

Work on the contract is expected to be completed by June 2018, with the Navy obligating fiscal 2018 working capital funds to GE as orders are issued and none of the funds expiring at the end of the contract ordering period.

Naval Air Systems Command awarded Boeing a contract for services in support of the Boeing P-8A Poseidon, an anti-submarine, anti-surface warfare aircraft and maritime patrol platform.

The deal, announced Tuesday by the Department of Defense, taps Boeing with a contract worth more than $115.2 million under the modification to a previous contract.

The previous award was a fixed-price-incentive-firm target, firm-fixed-price, cost-plus fixed-fee contract that provides for integrated logistics services and site activation for the P-8A Poseidon for the U.S. Navy and Australian government.

Work on the contract will occur in the U.S. and Australia, and is expected to be completed in September 2021.

More than $34.4 million will be obligated to Boeing at the time of award contract, allocated from U.S. Navy fiscal year 2018 aircraft procurement funds and capital from foreign military sales, which will not expire at the end of the current fiscal year.

Under a joint agreement, the new modified contract combines purchases for the U.S. Navy and Australia. The Pentagon is expected to pay out more than $103.3 million, or what amounts to 90 percent of the total contract value, under a cooperative engagement agreement.

Australia will be obligated with the remaining 10 percent, more than $11.8 million.
