CFM56-7B Series Core Engine Supply

The contract pertains to the supply of commercial off-the-shelf CFM56-7B series core engines, specifically models CFM56-7B27AE, CFM56-7B24E, and CFM56-7B27AE-1, for integration into U.S. military aircraft including the P-8A Poseidon, C-40 Clipper, and E-7A Wedgetail. These engines are critical components that will be incorporated into existing airframes to maintain mission readiness and operational capability across naval, air force, and special mission platforms. The procurement is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 336412, which covers aircraft engine and engine parts manufacturing, indicating the focus is on specialized propulsion system components rather than complete aircraft production. The solicitation is managed by the Naval Air Systems Command under the Department of Defense, with a response deadline of May 25, 2026, and was posted on May 8, 2026. There is no information provided regarding set-aside status or place of performance, and the point of contact details are not listed. The procurement is structured to leverage commercially available engine cores, ensuring cost-efficiency and reliability through established production lines while meeting military-specific integration requirements. The absence of detailed technical specifications or performance metrics suggests the buyer relies on established CFM56-7B platform standards, with the contractor expected to meet military acceptance criteria for durability, performance, and compatibility within the designated aircraft systems.
