AI Contract Overview
The Naval Air Systems Command awarded a sole source, cost plus incentive/award fee contract to Pratt & Whitney Military Engines for the Lot 4 Low Rate Initial Production advance acquisition of propulsion systems. This agreement authorizes the expenditure of long lead funding for components and materials to produce a total of 33 systems, including 12 Air Force CTOL, 14 Marine Corps STOVL, 4 Navy CV, one Royal Netherlands Air Force CTOL, and one United Kingdom Royal Navy STOVL system. Pratt & Whitney was selected as the only source capable of meeting these requirements without causing an estimated two-year delay in Initial Operating Capabilities for the US Air Force, Marine Corps, and Navy. The use of a cost plus incentive/award fee structure was deemed necessary due to design instability associated with System Development and Demonstration, which has impacted manufacturing line maturity. Because current cost actuals are unavailable to provide realistic production estimates, this contract type was utilized to motivate performance through cost, schedule, and performance incentives. This arrangement will remain in place until manufacturing processes mature sufficiently to allow for a fair and reasonable price determination for a future fixed price contract.
