About this opportunity
NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for a sole-source contract award to Rolls-Royce for technical variance extension services on the GIII aircraft NASA 808. The contract, numbered 80AFRC26P0001, was awarded on January 30, 2026, and requires Rolls-Royce to perform a 24-month technical variance analysis and certification on two obsolete MK511-8 SPEY engines (serial numbers 11021 and 11022) to extend their operational life beyond scheduled overhaul service due dates. The services include engine health analysis, component evaluation, airworthiness assessment, and comprehensive documentation of all test results and records. NASA justified the sole-source award based on market research demonstrating that Rolls-Royce is the only entity with the technical competence and manufacturer authorization to evaluate this obsolete engine model, as no other repair station currently accepts MK511-8 SPEY engines for overhaul services. The contract supports the mission-critical Artemis II program, as NASA 808 hosts imaging equipment essential for assessing the Orion capsule re-entry. While the exact contract value is redacted in the public posting, NASA determined the anticipated cost will be fair and reasonable through price analysis validation prior to contract execution.
