StandardAero awarded Royal Canadian Air Force propulsion system maintenance contract

In support of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) awarded an initial four-year performance-based contract to StandardAero for T56 propulsion sustainment on its fleet of CC-130 Hercules and CP-140 Aurora aircraft. The award was the culmination of the Department of National Defence’s new procurement process that included industry engagement and an open competition for engine platform that has been supported by StandardAero for over 50 years. The contract value was initially funded with CA$45m and is subject to funding increases as required. Meeting and exceeding program objectives can extend this performance based contract to match the aircraft’s service life. The contract covers propulsion system maintenance and support including T56 Power Sections ,QECs (CC130), RGBs, 54H60 Propellers, APUs and modules/accessories. It also includes requirements for providing other services including program management, fleet management, engineering and publications as well as supply chain management in support of the CC-130/CP-140 fleets.
