CFM International Inc.

CFM International Inc., a joint venture between GE Aviation and Safran Aircraft Engines, supplies aircraft engine components, assemblies, and related parts to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on a full-and-open competitive basis, with no SBA set-aside activity across its federal footprint. The company is headquartered in West Chester Township, Ohio, and operates under primary NAICS 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing), with nearly all federal work routed through the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation and the Air Force Sustainment Center.

CFM International's federal work centers on specialized engine components for military platforms—fan blades, compressor disks, inlet cones, fuel manifolds, seals, bearings, structural assemblies, and fasteners—that support sustainment of military aircraft equipped with the F108 engine, including the Boeing C-40 Clipper, 737 AEW&C, P-8 Poseidon, and E-6B. Representative recent delivery orders include a $42.66 million Air Force Sustainment Center award (September 2025) for fan blade sets in support of the F108 engine; a $33.7 million Air Force Sustainment Center delivery order (May 2025) for rotor blades; and a $10.6 million Defense Logistics Agency Aviation order (September 2024) for engine air cleanup kits. The company also performs engineering support work, such as a $1.89 million delivery order (January 2026) for engineering services, and manage-by-the-hour performance-based logistics (PBL) fee services, with multiple delivery orders in the $2–2.4 million range across 2025 and 2026. Smaller transactional orders for individual fasteners, seals, and minor components round out the portfolio at sub-$100 thousand ceiling values.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation accounts for approximately 70% of awards by count and 75% of potential value across all 10,493 prime awards in the source data, with 7,359 individual delivery orders valued at $11.02 billion combined. The Air Force Sustainment Center (including sub-office designations) places roughly 1,100 awards across multiple vehicles worth approximately $3.1 billion. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime and Naval Air Systems Command represent smaller secondary customers. This concentration reflects CFM International's role as a single-source engine component supplier anchored to Defense Logistics Agency Aviation's indefinite delivery vehicle portfolio rather than competition across a broad set of agencies.

CFM International sits on a $7.7 billion Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Department of Defense extending through October 31, 2034—the primary vehicle driving the bulk of its federal footprint. A Basic Ordering Agreement established March 26, 2026, carries a $20 million ceiling through March 25, 2031 and covers the same scope (fan mounts, compressor kits, fuel manifolds, turbine components, seals, bearings, structural panels, and mechanical assemblies). Within the 10,483 prime awards in source data, delivery orders against the primary DoD IDC dominate; task orders against the BOA began appearing in Q1 2026. The company receives no task orders on government-wide vehicles (GWACs, NASA SEWP, GSA Schedule) and does not compete on civilian agency vehicles.

Activity has contracted year over year—504 awards in 2022 to 51 awards through April 7, 2026 (representing less than three months of the year)—reflecting the mature, high-dollar nature of the remaining work and reduced transactional volume under the IDC as the primary vehicle stabilizes. Fifty-six awards with ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $234.1 million and face recompete; the underlying $7.7 billion IDC itself recompetes in 2034. The source identifies two sub-award positions under Vertex Aerospace LLC for E-6B contractor logistics support work (September 2025), but these appear to be sub-awards rather than core business; CFM International operates predominantly as a prime contractor.

CFM International is a child entity of General Electric Company (GE Aviation division); the parent holds substantial direct federal work as a prime contractor on its own. As a joint venture between GE Aviation and Safran Aircraft Engines, CFM International's federal footprint reflects GE's defense aviation engine supply role. The company competes exclusively in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside reserve, demonstrating its position as an established, large, qualified supplier in the commercial and military aerospace industrial base rather than an emerging or small business vendor.
