Pratt & Whitney has been awarded a long-term TF33 engine sustainment contract valued up to $870 million by the Defense Logistics Agency. 

The TF33 engine powers a range of aircraft, including Boeing’s B-52 Stratofortress and E-3 Sentry.

This agreement is a culmination of the Defense Logistics Agency’s decades-long partnership with the 448th Supply Chain Management Wing, Tinker Air Force Base, Okla., and Pratt & Whitney to establish a holistic sustainment solution. This first-of-its-kind approach will reduce obsolescence, supporting the U.S. Air Force’s wartime readiness today and into the foreseeable future.

Under this contract, Pratt & Whitney will provide comprehensive engine sustainment services for a global fleet of nearly 1,000 engines over a six-year period, with an option of extending for another four years. Services under this contract include maintenance, spare parts, program management, field service, repairs and engineering support.

“An engine’s sustainment phase is a critical but often underappreciated portion of military readiness,” said Jill Albertelli, president of Military Engines at Pratt & Whitney. “The TF33 enterprise is maturing beyond the conventional approach to a more complete, advanced sustainment process that will maximize the TF33’s support to many missions across the globe through 2050.”

Sustainment work will run through April 2034 at Tinker Air Force Base, Okla., additional U.S. Air Force locations, and Pratt & Whitney’s Southern Logistics Center located in Atlanta, Ga.
