RTX Corporation's Pratt & Whitney division received a $73.0 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order from the Air Force Aeronautical Systems Center on March 14, 2025, for Next Generation Adaptive Propulsion (NGAP) prototyping efforts. This Delivery Order 6 is issued under the basic Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract FA8626-22-D-0002 and incorporates all applicable clauses from the parent IDIQ agreement. The work is scheduled for completion by September 13, 2026, and will be performed at Pratt & Whitney's facility in Hartford, Connecticut. No set-aside designation applies to this award, reflecting RTX Corporation's status as a large, established aerospace and defense contractor with extensive experience developing advanced propulsion systems for military aircraft platforms.
Pratt & Whitney has engaged two subcontractors to support the NGAP prototyping initiative: Parametric Solutions Inc., which provides engineering design, analysis, and manufacturing services for aerospace components, and Quest Defense Systems & Solutions Inc., which offers specialized engineering services and subject matter expertise in aircraft engine technologies. This contract aligns with the Air Force's strategic investment in next-generation propulsion capabilities and builds on Pratt & Whitney's established track record in delivering cutting-edge engine technologies and components for military aviation platforms including the F-15, F-16, and F-35 fighter jets.
