Pratt & Whitney was awarded a $145 million contract modification to support F-35 depots, according to a contract filing from the U.S. Department of Defense.
The East Hartford-based manufacturer’s military engines division and Raytheon Technologies Corp. were awarded the modification to a previously awarded depot support contract on Monday, per the filing.
The contract modification tasks Pratt with procuring material and support equipment for F-35 aircraft related sustainment in the Air Force, Marine Corps, Navy, and non-U.S. Department of Defense entities. Specifically, Pratt will support aircraft depot maintenance facilities and provide supplies, services, and planning for depot activations.
Work is expected to be completed in Sept. 2024, according to the U.S. DOD’s filing. Most of the work, 30%, will be done in East Hartford. Another 3.7% will be done in Windsor Locks.
Last week, Pratt announced that longtime employee Jill Albertelli is stepping up as president of Pratt & Whitney Military Engines. She took over for Matthew Bromberg, who announced he was leaving the company after 20 years.
