Pratt & Whitney Wins $32.2M F135 Sustainment Option to Repair F-35A and F-35C Engines

Naval Air Systems Command exercised a $32.2 million option with Pratt & Whitney for recurring F135 engine sustainment, including repair of repairable components for F-35A and F-35C fleets. The cost-plus-incentive-fee modification runs through November 2027 and covers the F135-PW-100 and maritime F135-PW-400 variants rather than the F-35B’s lift-system-equipped engine. Funding combines US Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps maintenance accounts with cooperative partner and Foreign Military Sales contributions, the latter two providing nearly 31% of the total. Work is distributed across US facilities and international support locations, continuing maintenance under an existing contract.
