StandardAero has secured a position on a new US Air Force contract to provide depot-level maintenance for Rolls-Royce T56 engines, modules, and components used on C-130 aircraft.
The 10-year indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract has a maximum value of $342.2 million. StandardAero will provide T56 engine maintenance support for C-130 aircraft operated by the US Air Force, US Navy, and Foreign Military Sales customers.
The scope includes engine repair and overhaul, module maintenance and component repair, supporting the long-term sustainment of the C-130 fleet.
StandardAero has supported the US Air Force T56 program since 1999 and provides independent T56 engine MRO services. The company also supports international military operators through the US Air Force’s Foreign Military Sales program.
StandardAero has previously worked on the modernization of the US Air Force’s T56 fleet, including the conversion of T56 Series 3 engines to the Series 3.5 configuration. The upgrade improves fuel efficiency and engine time on wing while helping reduce lifecycle maintenance costs.
