P-8A Airframe Depot Maintenance and Repair

Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) established a two-award Master IDIQ on September 13, 2024, for P-8A Poseidon airframe depot maintenance and repair, with ordering authority extending through September 30, 2029. The vehicle is unrestricted, competitive, and active; approximately three years and two months of ordering window remains.

The scope encompasses scheduled and unscheduled depot-level maintenance, in-service repair planning and estimating, technical directive incorporation, airframe modifications, and aircraft-on-ground (AOG) support. Contractors must maintain Title 14 CFR Part 145 certification and furnish all facilities, labor, equipment, tools, parts, materials, and consumables except P-8A unique government-furnished equipment. Work is performed primarily at contractor facilities but also at Navy field activities and deployed locations worldwide. Only U.S. DoD contractors are eligible, and all prime and subcontractor employees (except part suppliers) must be U.S. citizens. The vehicle procures on behalf of the United States, Australia, and other foreign military sales countries.

Two primes split the awarded work evenly by order count and comparably by potential value: AAR Government Services, Inc. holds two orders valued at $213.2 million combined, and L3Harris Technologies Integrated Systems L.P. holds two orders valued at $182.9 million combined. All four task orders fund Navy Naval Air Systems Command programs exclusively.

Four task orders have been awarded since vehicle establishment, two at award and two most recently in February 2025. Combined potential value across all orders is $396.1 million, with $188.2 million obligated to date (48% of potential). The largest orders are phase-in and stand-up vehicles: one to AAR valued at $182.0 million potential with $91.9 million obligated through March 31, 2030, and one to L3Harris valued at $212.6 million potential with $94.8 million obligated on the same completion date. Smaller orders fund Technical Directive incorporation on multiple aircraft through March 2028. Pricing is firm fixed price on the major maintenance contracts and time and materials on Technical Directive work.
