Latest modification increases the contract ceiling for the F135 engine in the F-35 fighter aircraft.

Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) has issued a $769.87 million contract modification to Raytheon Technologies and Pratt & Whitney Military Engines in support of F135 engine requirements for the USAF, USMC, USN, FMS customers and ‘non-Department of Defense participants’, the DoD announced on 23 September.

The modification increases the contract ceiling to procure spare parts for the F135 propulsion system that powers the F-35 Lightning II aircraft.

Raytheon and Pratt & Whitney will also supply support equipment and depot lay-in material for the F-135.
