Washington (UPI) Jan 18, 2017

The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency has awarded General Electric a $98 million contract to remanufacture F110 engines.

The F110 is an afterburning turbofan jet engine used to power military aircraft including the F-14, F-15, and F-16. The device was developed from General Electric's earlier F101 and F118 variants.

The engine's components include a two-spool, three-fan compressor, annular combustors, and 2 low-pressure and 1-high-pressure stage turbines.

According to the U.S. Department of Defense, work on the contract will be performed at facilities in Ohio and Kansas. Officials expect the work to be complete by October 2018.

Once finished, the engines will be used by the U.S. Air Force.

The contract was a sole-source acquisition. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is listed as the contracting activity.
