The Norwegian Defense Logistics Organization (NDLO) has agreed to a 4-year contract agreement with Pratt & Whitney for a performance-based material management program (MMP) to support the Royal Norwegian Air Force's F100-PW-220E engine fleet. The contract supports material forecasting, item repair management, and provisioning of operational, intermediate, and depot-level spare parts. This marks the second MMP deal Pratt & Whitney, a United Technologies Corp. company, has signed with the NDLO, and it is structured to support Norway's F-16 fleet readiness objectives for the next 4 years.
"This agreement builds on a strong 30-year relationship Pratt & Whitney has with the Royal Norwegian Air Force on the F100 engine powering their F-16 fighters," says Howie Chandler, vice president, Military Business Development and International Programs, Pratt & Whitney. "We are pleased to continue supporting and providing services with this follow-on Material Management Program award."
Pratt & Whitney partners with its customers at their depots and logistics centers around the globe to support, overhaul, and repair more than 4,500 engines under performance-based logistics or material management agreements.
