About this opportunity
Naval Air Systems Command awarded a firm-fixed-price indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract to CFM International Inc. for up to 24 P-8A CFM56-7B27AE core engines and one CFM56-7B24E core engine, valued at $489.739 million, with award made on September 17, 2026.
Work will be performed in Villaroche, France (53 percent); Durham, North Carolina (43 percent); and Peebles, Ohio (4 percent), with completion expected in September 2031. No funds will be obligated at award; funds will be obligate on individual orders as issued. The award was made as a sole-source procurement under 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1). NAVAIR determined that introducing competitive sources would require five to seven years for Boeing integration, engine qualification, and NAVAIR and FAA airworthiness certifications, creating unacceptable delays to fleet mission readiness. Market research through a Sources Sought Notice and Presolicitation Notice yielded no viable alternative sources.
Notice text
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) awarded a firm-fixed-price indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract for the procurement of up to 24 P-8A CFM56-7B27AE core engines and one CFM56-7B24E core engine. Work will be performed in Villaroche, France (53%); Durham, North Carolina (43%); and Peebles, Ohio (4%), and is expected to be completed in September 2031. No funds will be obligated at the time of award; funds will be obligated on individual orders as they are issued.
Award to a source other than CFM International, Inc would result in an unacceptable delay of 3-5 years. The P-8A and C-40A aircraft are furnished with derivatives of the commercial Boeing 737 CFM56-7B27AE and CFM56-7B24E engines, respectively. Having to establishing new contracts with Boeing for integrating the alternative engines into each aircraft, qualifying a new source, and obtaining NAVAIR Airworthiness and FAA certifications for the alternative engine would result in unacceptable delays to the delivery of spare engines to the fleet as well as severe impact to mission readiness due to a lack of engines.
Awarded contract N0001926D1008 to CFM INTERNATIONAL INC for 489739433.00 on 2026-09-17.
