C-130J PROPS AND SPARES

This contract awards GE Aviation Systems LLC (Dowty Propellers) a sole‑source, firm‑fixed‑price requirement for additional R‑391 propellers, spares, and “Super O‑Kits” supporting the C‑130J Hercules fleet. The work is performed under an existing Requirements Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with a three‑year ceiling (one‑year base period plus two one‑year options). The propeller is a six‑bladed, all‑composite, fail‑safe unit that only GE Dowty can produce because the government lacks the proprietary technical data. The contract enables continued sustainment, repair, and replacement of propellers and related components, ensuring fleet readiness without costly redesign or re‑certification. • Sole‑source award to GE Dowty based on proprietary data ownership (10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1)). • Scope includes production, delivery, and spare‑parts support for R‑391 propellers and “Super O‑Kit” maintenance kits. • Contract type: firm‑fixed‑price Requirements IDC with a three‑year ceiling and two optional one‑year extensions.
