KC-130J Depot Level Engine Repair Award

Rolls-Royce Corp. was awarded a firm-fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract valued at 372,529,648 dollars for depot-level repair of AE2100D3 engines for KC-130J aircraft. This effort supports the United States Marine Corps, United States Navy, and the government of Kuwait through Foreign Military Sales. The scope of work includes the repair of Quick Engine Change Assemblies, power sections, and propeller gearboxes, with performance distributed across facilities in Oakland, California; Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada; Alverca, Portugal; Farnborough, Hampshire, United Kingdom; and Indianapolis, Indiana. The contract was competitively procured by the Naval Air Systems Command and is expected to be completed in April 2022. The contract is managed through a series of Contract Line Item Numbers covering project support, technical services, and various repair categories based on severity and type. Funding is obligated on a per-delivery order basis rather than at the time of award. Quality and performance are monitored via a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan that tracks turn-around times and data performance standards. Deliverables include a Management Plan, conference agendas, and repairable item inspection reports. The project also involves the management of Government Furnished Property and adherence to strict airworthiness and quality system requirements to ensure the operational readiness of the propulsion systems.
