Gas Turbines And Jet Engines, Aircraft, Prime Moving; And Components

PSC Category 2840, focusing on Gas Turbines and Jet Engines, Aircraft Prime Moving, and Components, encompasses a wide range of critical aerospace and defense technologies. This category includes procurement and maintenance of aircraft engine components, turbine assemblies, engine parts, seals, housings, and related support systems. The products are primarily used in military and government aviation platforms, supporting various aircraft types including helicopters, fighter jets, and maritime patrol aircraft.

Federal Contract Awards in this category demonstrate significant investment in maintaining and upgrading military aviation capabilities. Major contractors like General Electric Company (GE), Pratt & Whitney, Rolls-Royce Corporation, and CFM International consistently receive awards ranging from $1,600 to over $228 million. The awards are predominantly firm-fixed-price delivery orders or indefinite-delivery contracts, with durations typically spanning 1-5 years. Primary funding agencies include the U.S. Coast Guard, Naval Supply Systems Command, Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, and Air Force Sustainment Center. Most awards are not set aside, allowing large businesses to compete, with performance locations primarily in the United States, including facilities in Oklahoma, Virginia, and Massachusetts.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities within PSC 2840 focus on procuring specialized aircraft engine components such as combustion chamber liners, turbine nozzle segments, air seals, and compressor parts. Solicitations target critical safety items for platforms like the F-100, F-35, P-8A, and T-38 aircraft. Most opportunities are unrestricted, with some designated as small business set-asides. Agencies like the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, Naval Air Systems Command, and Air Force Materiel Command seek manufacturers capable of producing precision aerospace components, conducting first article testing, and meeting stringent quality assurance standards like ISO 9001. Typical quantities range from 3 to 775 units, with delivery locations predominantly at military logistics centers such as Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma.
