This indefinite delivery contract awarded by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory to RTX Corporation's Pratt & Whitney division aims to advance turbine engine technology through the Advanced Turbine Technologies for Affordable Mission-Capability (ATTAM) Phase I program. The single-award, $250 million IDIQ contract has a period of performance through September 2023. Under this vehicle, the Air Force has issued multiple delivery orders to Pratt & Whitney, a major aerospace and defense contractor, for the development and delivery of critical aircraft systems and components. These include electronic power and cooling systems, enhanced aircraft batteries, a megawatt-class electric generator, and pressure gain propulsion research valued at over $73 million collectively. Pratt & Whitney will perform the work at its facility in Hartford, Connecticut, leveraging its extensive experience as both a prime contractor and subcontractor for the Department of Defense in providing advanced propulsion technologies and services to support military aviation.
The original contract opportunity, a pre-solicitation notice for the ATTAM Phase I program, indicates the Air Force Research Laboratory's intent to award approximately eleven IDIQ contracts valued at an estimated $700 million over 8 years. The program seeks to develop capabilities in propulsion, power, thermal technologies, small and medium scale propulsion, sustainment, affordability, and innovative architectures. The awards will be made under NAICS code 541715 for research and development in the fields of aircraft engines, gas turbines, and jet propulsion systems.
