This BOA covers essential engineering and logistics support for T56-A engines. Key services include:

- Awardee: Rolls Royce Corporation (RRC)

- Published: April 13, 2026
Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition
The CJ&A details the rationale for awarding this contract on a sole-source basis to Rolls Royce Corporation. RRC is identified as the sole manufacturer of the T56-A engine and possesses unique knowledge, proprietary data, and specialized tooling essential for these efforts. Pursuing competition would result in substantial duplication of costs to the government, including significant delays and potential compromise of mission readiness. Efforts to solicit other offers did not identify any other capable sources.
