Definitive Contract SPRTA125C0050

Collins Engine Nozzles, Inc., a subsidiary of Raytheon Technologies Corporation, has been awarded a $9.7 million firm fixed-price definitive contract by the Air Force Sustainment Center for the new manufacture of J-85 fuel injection nozzles (NSN 2915-00-106-5464). The contract, awarded on May 30, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2028, represents a significant production effort for this critical engine component used across military aircraft platforms. The work will be performed at the contractor's facility in West Des Moines, Iowa. This award follows a pre-solicitation notice issued in November 2023 by the 421st Supply Chain Management Squadron on behalf of the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, which sought manufacturers capable of producing this specialized aerospace component. No small business set-aside was applied to this requirement.

Collins Engine Nozzles' selection as prime contractor reflects its established competitive positioning and technical capabilities in precision aerospace fuel system component manufacturing for military applications. The company's core expertise in designing and manufacturing sophisticated engine parts, combined with its existing portfolio of Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency and its relationships with major defense primes including Honeywell International and General Electric, positions it as a critical supplier for maintaining military aircraft operational readiness. This contract builds upon Collins' existing IAC portfolio valued at approximately $10 million and supports the Department of Defense's sustainment requirements for legacy military aircraft platforms utilizing J-85 engines.
