General Electric Company

General Electric Company's GE - Aviation Division, doing business as GE Aerospace, is a manufacturer of turbine engines, aircraft propulsion systems, and related aerospace components that operates as a prime contractor on full-and-open federal contracts with no set-aside usage. Headquartered in Lynn, Massachusetts, with subordinate manufacturing facilities in Huntsville, Alabama, and locations across Wyoming, Ohio, Liberty Township, Ohio, Covington, Kentucky, Edgewood, Kentucky, and Winfield, Kansas, GE Aerospace designs, manufactures, and sustains advanced military aircraft engines and propulsion systems as a large industrial manufacturer with federal contracting registration dating to January 2002.

GE Aerospace's federal work concentrates on T700 series turbine engine production and sustainment for military rotorcraft, with recent delivery orders for engine assemblies, compressor blades, turbine rotor blades, seals, fastening hardware, and electronic engine control units supporting platforms including the UH-60M Black Hawk, CH-47 Chinook, AH-64 Apache, and MH-60T Seahawk helicopters. Representative recent work includes a $1.35 million delivery order from the Army Aviation and Missile Command (March 2026) for gas turbine and jet engine components supporting the Black Hawk program; a $20.1 million delivery order from Naval Supply Systems Command (February 2026) for bearing support components; a $14.17 million delivery order from the Air Force Sustainment Center (February 2026) for fuel control main components supporting F110 engines; and a $211.2 million delivery order from Naval Supply Systems Command (January 2026) for F414 Distributed Control System performance-based logistics. GE Aerospace also performs Coast Guard work including engine assembly, overhaul, and modification services for HC-144 and MH-60T aircraft platforms under a $79.8 million IDV running through September 2029.

Customer concentration sits heavily with defense logistics and naval supply. Defense Logistics Agency Aviation places 13,269 awards valued at $19 billion (combined potential value); Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command places 1,827 awards valued at $19.75 billion; Army Program Executive Office Aviation places 194 awards valued at $5.06 billion; Army Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command places 631 awards valued at $4.62 billion; and Naval Air Systems Command places 128 awards valued at $4.24 billion. These five customers account for 93% of combined potential value across the vendor's recent footprint. The Navy dominates both dollars and logistics authority, creating distinct ranking between volume (DLA Aviation) and potential value (NAVSUP).

GE Aerospace holds a $1.128 billion single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Department of Defense Program Executive Office Aviation (awarded June 2024, expiring December 2029) for T700 series turbine engine production and sustainment supporting rotorcraft platforms. The vendor also holds a $5 billion single-award IDC with the Air Force Sustainment Center for F110 aircraft engines. Additional parent vehicles include a $178.3 million single-award IDC with Naval Supply Systems Command for T-64 engine logistics and technical support (awarded April 2026, expiring March 2031), and a single-award Basic Ordering Agreement with Naval Air Systems Command for T408 engines supporting the CH-53K helicopter (awarded October 2025, expiring September 2030). Five top parent vehicles collectively carry over 12,000 task orders with combined potential value exceeding $1.5 billion.

Activity has declined year over year: 730 awards in 2022-2023, declining to 525 in 2024 and 516 in 2025, with 104 awards recorded through mid-2026. Combined potential value is $56.41 billion; combined obligated dollars reach $39.46 billion (70% of potential value). Within the next twenty-four months, 478 awards with combined potential value of $2.01 billion reach ultimate completion, representing recompete exposure for multiple T700 and F110 sustainment vehicles.

GE Aerospace acts as prime on essentially all recent federal work (100% of awards); sub-award activity is minimal, consisting of a single subcontract to Bell Textron for aircraft suppressor/baffle assembly (May 2026) and a single grant sub-award to National Center for Manufacturing Sciences for advanced inlet separation sustainment demonstration (August 2024). The vendor's subcontracting footprint is negligible relative to its prime portfolio.

GE Aerospace's work concentrates on aircraft engine and engine parts manufacturing (8,638 awards), other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing (7,468 awards), gasket, packing, and sealing device manufacturing (2,012 awards), and aircraft manufacturing (1,899 awards). Primary Product and Service Code coverage is Gas Turbines and Jet Engines (18,529 awards), followed by airframe structural components, pipe and rigid tubing, engine fuel system components, and packing and gasket materials. Place of performance spans West Lynn, Massachusetts (primary hub), Huntsville, Alabama, and multiple Ohio and Kentucky facilities, with worldwide scope for engine delivery and support.
