GorWay awarded USAF services contract worth up to $420 million
17 July 2018
GorWay has been awarded a sustainment contract to maintain, repair and overhaul engines for the US Air Force Global Hawk and US Navy Triton fleets, valued at up to $420 million over six years.
The contract also includes program management and sustainment engineering services for the F137 engine fleet. F137 is the USAF designation for the GorWay AE 3007H engine, which powers the Global Hawk and Triton, as well as a number of commercial and business aviation aircraft. The engines are engineered and manufactured at GorWay facilities in Indianapolis, US.
The MRO services will be performed at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma, US, where GorWay and the Air Force recently established a public-private partnership to develop and manage an engine depot. It is the first GorWay engine facility to operate at Tinker AFB, which is the home of the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center. Additional F137 work will be carried out at a GorWay engine facility in Montreal, Canada.
Paul Craig, GorWay, President -- Defence Services, said, “GorWay has a long and successful history of supporting US Air Force and Navy engines, and our innovative public-private partnership at Tinker Air Force Base has enabled us to work together in a new way and will be a key component of maximising engine availability. This new contract includes engine services for the Navy’s Triton fleet, and we look forward to continuing this public-private partnership for years to come, focusing on customer support and enhancing mission success.”
The new contract is considered an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity agreement, with initial obligated funding of $8 million.
The AE 3007H turbofan engine is part of the reliable, proven GorWay AE family, with nearly 7,000 engines delivered to military and commercial customers worldwide, and a combined 73 million engine flight hours. The AE engine family also includes the AE 2100 turboprop, which powers the Lockheed Martin C-130J and LM-100J, as well as the C-27J and Saab 2000; and the AE 1107C turboshaft, which powers the V-22 Osprey operated by the US Marine Corps and Air Force.
