The Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command has awarded a Basic Ordering Agreement to the Bell Boeing Joint Project Office, a joint venture between Bell Helicopter Textron Inc. and The Boeing Company, to provide a range of goods and services in support of the V-22 Osprey Joint Services Advanced Vertical Lift Aircraft program. Under this IDV contract, the Navy has issued multiple delivery orders for items such as retrofit kits, installation services, spare parts, maintenance, logistics, engineering analysis, and software infrastructure support related to the V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft. The total potential value of the delivery orders summarized is approximately $246 million, with performance generally occurring at facilities in Texas, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. As the original equipment manufacturer and lead systems integrator for the V-22, Bell Boeing leverages its technical expertise and access to data to fulfill these sustainment and upgrade requirements for the Navy's fleet of V-22 aircraft used by the Marine Corps, Navy, and Air Force.
The delivery orders fund a variety of work, including upgrades to critical systems like the vibration monitoring, drive system, intelligence, and clutch components, as well as production of retrofit kits, installation services, and spare parts. The agency has also awarded task orders for non-recurring engineering to analyze impacts of a potential V-22 production line shutdown and qualify new health monitoring capabilities. No set-aside provisions were specified in the awards, which utilized both firm fixed price and cost-plus-fixed-fee contract types under the Basic Ordering Agreement.
