General Electric Company

General Electric Company, operating as GE Aerospace, manufactures and delivers aircraft turbine engines, engine components, and propulsion system hardware to the Department of Defense and U.S. Coast Guard as a large prime contractor (99% of awards) competing through full and open competition with no set-aside designations. The company is a for-profit manufacturer and subsidiary of the General Electric Company conglomerate, headquartered in Lynn, Massachusetts, and operates manufacturing and overhaul facilities across West Lynn, Massachusetts; Wyoming, Ohio; Huntsville, Alabama; Covington, Kentucky; and Arkansas City, Kansas.

GE Aerospace's federal work centers on design, production, maintenance, repair, and overhaul of advanced aircraft engines and turbine components for military aviation platforms. The company supplies T700 series turbine engines powering the UH-60M Black Hawk, CH-47 Chinook, AH-64 Apache, and MH-60T Seahawk helicopters; T-64 engines for the CH-53K King Stallion; T408 engines for naval platforms; F110 engines for fighter aircraft; and F414 engines for naval jets. Representative recent work includes a $47.1 million delivery order from the Coast Guard (awarded January 2026) for procurement of 39 new T700-401D engines for MH-60T aircraft; a $26.3 million delivery order from the Army's Program Executive Office Aviation (December 2025) for performance-based logistics material procurement of T700 turbine engine components; a $208.4 million delivery order from Naval Supply Systems Command (December 2025) for F414 Fleet Support Performance-Based Logistics calendar year 2026 work; and a $5.3 million delivery order from Naval Supply Systems Command (February 2026) for case, diffuser, and turbine components supporting T-64 engine production for the CH-53K.

GE Aerospace serves 22 distinct federal customer agencies, with concentration anchored by Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (870 awards, $1.26 billion combined potential value) and Navy-related customers. The top five customer rankings diverge meaningfully by potential value: the Army's Materiel Command Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command, Naval Supply Systems Command, and Army PEO Aviation account for $15.44 billion (75% of all potential value) across 189 awards, while DLA Aviation's 870 awards comprise only $1.26 billion. This reflects GE's role as a sole-source or single-award supplier on large indefinite delivery contracts anchoring major defense platforms, with routine component procurement through DLA delivering volume at lower individual order values.

GE Aerospace holds multiple parent vehicles driving its federal footprint. A Basic Ordering Agreement (SPE4A122G0010) carries 733 task orders ($199 million combined potential value). An Indefinite Delivery Contract (F3460197G0002) with the Army sustains 413 task orders for T700 series engine production through December 2029 and is valued at $1.128 billion, the single largest vehicle in the portfolio. Other significant vehicles include an IDC (SPE4AX21D9413) with 186 task orders ($30.7 million potential value), an IDC (N0038396D019M) with 158 task orders, and a BOA (N0038322GTF01) with 35 task orders ($28 million potential value) for T-64 and related components. The Navy's T-64 engine contract is a $56.18 million single-award IDC, and GE holds a $5 billion Aeronautical Systems Center contract for F110 aircraft engines. These vehicles enable streamlined issuance of delivery orders for component manufacturing and engine sustainment without individual competitive resolicitations.

Activity has grown significantly year over year: 58 awards in 2022 escalated to 447 awards in 2025, though 2026 year-to-date shows 74 awards (partial year). The portfolio spans 1,943 total awards with $20.71 billion combined potential value. Within the next twenty-four months, 380 awards (combined potential value $1.62 billion) reach ultimate completion and face recompete. Top NAICS categories are Aircraft Manufacturing (764 awards), Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing (209 awards), and Hardware Manufacturing (186 awards); PSC coding reflects Gas Turbines and Jet Engines components (920 awards) and piping, packing, and transmission equipment (373 awards combined).

GE Aerospace subcontracts minimally—only 11 sub-awards (1% of total)—with recent named subs including Collins Engine Nozzles, Inc. (performing aviation engine hardware work on the Coast Guard's T700-401D engine order) and Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation (supplying lube system components including pumps and oil reservoirs on the same order). The company competes almost exclusively as a prime contractor. The vendor carries no small business set-aside designations and competes through full and open competition as a large industrial manufacturer.
