Pratt & Whitney, an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business, has received an $18 million TF33 engine sustainment contract from the NATO Support Procurement Agency (NSPA). Under this contract, Pratt & Whitney will provide comprehensive engine sustainment services for NATO's fleet of airborne warning and control system (AWACS) aircraft, also known as the E-3 Sentry.

"Our integrated engine sustainment approach will help maximize fleet readiness for years to come."

Pratt & Whitney will provide a materials management program to include part forecasting, procurement and technical support. The contract duration is for three years, with an option to extend it for an additional two years.

Work on this contract will be conducted at several locations, including the Geilenkirchen NATO Air Base, depots in Turkey and Greece, and Pratt & Whitney's East Hartford, Conn. facility.
