Gas Turbines And Jet Engines; Non-Aircraft Prime Mover, Aircraft Non-Prime Mover, And Components

PSC Category 2835 (Gas Turbines and Jet Engines; Non-Aircraft Prime Mover, Aircraft Non-Prime Mover, And Components) encompasses a wide range of specialized aerospace and industrial equipment. This category includes turbine engines, gas turbine power units, engine components, and related systems primarily used in non-aircraft applications such as naval vessels, ground vehicles, and industrial power generation. The products range from complete power units to intricate components like rotors, blades, housings, and accessory gearboxes that are critical for the operation of complex mechanical systems.

The federal contract awards in this category predominantly feature firm-fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders from agencies like the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation, Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP), and U.S. Army Contracting Command. Frequent awardees include major aerospace manufacturers such as Honeywell International Inc., AAR Supply Chain, Rolls-Royce Marine North America, and Raytheon Technologies Corporation. Contract values range from under $10,000 to over $4.9 million, with most awards falling between $20,000 and $500,000. Delivery timeframes typically span from several months to three years, and while most awards are unrestricted, some utilize small business set-asides, particularly for service-disabled veteran-owned and small disadvantaged businesses.

Recent contract opportunities focus on procuring and repairing specialized gas turbine and jet engine components for military and naval applications. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation and Naval Supply Systems Command are primary solicitation agencies, seeking items such as turbine wheels, nozzles, gearboxes, and power units for platforms including F-16 aircraft, naval ships, and ground vehicle systems. Most opportunities are not set aside, allowing full and open competition, and require vendors to have sophisticated manufacturing capabilities, quality certifications, and often proprietary technical data rights. Performance locations are primarily within the United States, with delivery destinations including military bases, naval facilities, and defense logistics centers.
