Military Contracts

AIR FORCE

General Electric Co. Aircraft Engines of Cincinnati, Ohio is being awarded a firm-fixed price contract modification for $15,592,486. This contract modification will provide for mixing duct and two flame-holder segments. It is redesigned hardware meant to address the fact that the augmenter/exhaust nozzle section is a leading contributor to labor intensive unscheduled engine removals in direct relation to excessively repaired parts that are subject to thermal variances. The mixing duct incorporates redesigned support hangers and outer lugs at all flame-holder attachment locations. The design incorporates replaceable inserts made from L605 material coated with chromium carbide on both face surfaces. The flame-holders consist of a 10 piece design that has the mid and outer rings split at ten locations, which reduces thermally induced stresses that cause crack initiation in the rings. This acquisition is being accomplished under a sole source, four plus-year requirements type contract with a basic period (15 months) and three one year options. This program in combination with the F110 Services Life Extension Program is designed to extend the life of the F110-GE-100 and -129 engines to 2025. The F110 engines power the Air Force's F-16 fleet. The F-16 fleet is an aging fleet that is exceeding its "design life" of 8000 Total Accumulated Cycles by an average 485 TACs. A complete engine re-design was accomplished under the Component Improvement Program ordered by ASC/LPK. At this time no funds have been obligated. 748 CBSG/PKP, Tinker Air Force Base, Okla., is the contracting activity (FA8104-05-D-0042-P00006).
