The award was issued under V2X’s T-6 Contractor Operated and Maintained Base Supply contract, known as COMBS. RTX said the deal extends a long-running sustainment partnership supporting one of the main aircraft in the U.S. military training pipeline.
“Supporting JPATS pilots starts with reliable trainer aircraft, and our maintenance work helps ensure these planes are ready for every new class of aviators,” said Frédéric Lefebvre, vice president, Pratt & Whitney Canada, Customer Service Operations. He said the award reflects the work of 500 Pratt & Whitney Canada employees in West Virginia and the sustainment support they provide to customers.
The work will be carried out through Pratt & Whitney Canada’s Bridgeport facility. RTX said the site has performed PT6A-68 maintenance, repair and overhaul work for more than four decades.
The Bridgeport operation provides mission-critical engine support for operators worldwide. The new contract marks the second time the site has received this engine refurbishment award for the U.S. government.
RTX said the repeat award reflects the facility’s performance, technical expertise and record in engine sustainment. For the T-6 fleet, the contract supports aircraft availability and continuity across pilot training operations.
“V2X is extremely excited to have the engine OEM Pratt & Whitney Canada and their Bridgeport facility as a key partner on this contract,” said Chis Abrams, vice president, V2X Aerospace Solutions. “We have great confidence in the P&WC Bridgeport team having worked together on other long-term contracts throughout the years.”
The contract gives Pratt & Whitney Canada a major long-term role in sustaining the JPATS fleet. It also anchors continued engine overhaul work at Bridgeport, linking U.S. training readiness with a specialized West Virginia workforce.
