About this program
The V-22 Osprey Joint Services Advanced Vertical Lift Aircraft (V-22) is a Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) managed by the Department of Defense under the Major Capability Acquisition pathway with an Acquisition Category of IC. The program encompasses the development, production, and sustainment of the V-22 Osprey, a tiltrotor aircraft that combines the vertical takeoff, hover, and landing capabilities of a helicopter with the speed and range characteristics of a fixed-wing aircraft. The V-22 platform serves multiple branches of the military, including variants for the Marine Corps (MV-22), Air Force (CV-22), and Navy (CMV-22).
Contract awards associated with the V-22 program typically range from small purchase orders of $5,000-$50,000 for specialized components to large delivery orders exceeding $150 million for comprehensive engineering and logistics support. The Bell Boeing Joint Project Office, a joint venture between Bell Helicopter Textron Inc. and The Boeing Company, serves as the primary original equipment manufacturer and systems integrator. Other significant prime contractors include Rolls-Royce Corporation for engines and power systems, Raytheon Company for avionics and communications systems, and Elbitamerica Inc. for display and electronic systems. The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) and Naval Air Warfare Center are the predominant funding agencies, with most contracts structured as firm-fixed-price or cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery orders. While some contracts are set aside for small businesses, particularly for specialized tooling and support equipment, the majority have no set-aside designation. Primary places of performance include Amarillo, Texas; Ridley Park, Pennsylvania; Indianapolis, Indiana; and various military installations where V-22 aircraft are based.
