About this award
Bell Textron Inc., a subsidiary of Textron Inc., was awarded a modification to an Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps Future Vertical Lift (FVL) Weapon Integration Risk Reduction (WIRR) Prototype Project on December 15, 2023. The modification funds Milestones 8-10 to close out Phase 1 of the WIRR program and extends the period of performance for the base contract line item through December 31, 2025. The award has a ceiling value of $14.6 million and is managed through Consortium Management Group, Inc. (CMG), which serves as the prime contractor and consortium manager. The work will be performed in Fort Worth, Texas, with no set-aside designation applied to this award.
The WIRR initiative represents a critical research and development effort supporting the Pentagon's multi-decade FVL program, which aims to develop next-generation vertical lift capabilities for military operations. Bell Textron's involvement aligns with its established expertise in advanced rotor systems and aerospace technology development, as evidenced by prior cooperative agreements focused on applied technologies for future vertical lift rotor systems. The use of an OTA vehicle enables greater flexibility in prototype development compared to traditional Federal Acquisition Regulation contracts, facilitating innovation in weapons integration and risk mitigation for advanced military aviation platforms. CMG's consortium structure provides a collaborative framework for multiple stakeholders to contribute specialized capabilities to this prototyping effort.
