Lockheed Martin Expands F-35 Training Capabilities with $13M Modification

Lockheed Martin Corp., Fort Worth, Texas, is awarded a $12,980,062 modification (P00006) to cost-plus-fixed-fee order (N0001922F1020) against a previously issued basic ordering agreement (N0001919G0008). This modification exercises options for the production and delivery of four Modified Mission Rehearsal Trainer kits, to include associated site readiness and survey requirements in support of providing a smaller footprint of the existing F-35 Pilot Training Device (PTD), additional training capabilities allowing the Air Force to train a greater number of pilots at any given time to meet its growing F-35 pilot training requirements, more sorties flown in a PTD rather than the F-35 airframe, and interoperability with other PTDs. Work will be performed in Orlando, Florida (91%); and Fort Worth, Texas (9%), and is expected to be completed in August 2026. Fiscal 2022 aircraft procurement (Air Force) funds in the amount of $12,980,062 will be obligated at the time of award, all of which will expire at the end of the current fiscal year. Naval Air Systems Command, Patuxent River, Maryland, is the contracting activity.
