The Langley Research Center (LaRC), a civilian agency of the U.S. government, awarded an indefinite delivery contract (IDC) to General Electric Company (GE) under contract number 80LARC21D0002. The $33 million IDC is for research on hot structures and turbine engine assessment for hypersonic turbine-based combined cycle (TBCC) development.
The contract includes a series of delivery orders to GE's GE Aviation division, operating as GE Edison Works, to provide a range of products and services related to the development of advanced aerospace materials and components. These include fabricating and testing chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) and melt infiltration processed silicon carbide/silicon carbide (SiC/SiC) components, characterizing material properties, and conducting studies on turbine engine integration for high-speed propulsion systems. The work is being performed in Wyoming, Ohio, and the delivery orders range in value from approximately $100,000 to $1.9 million, using cost-plus-fixed-fee and cost-no-fee contract types. As a major supplier of aircraft engines and components to the U.S. government, GE has extensive experience supporting federal research and development initiatives in advanced aerospace materials and manufacturing.
