Bell Helicopter, Boeing JV Secures $55M Navy Contract Modification for V-22 Repairs

A joint venture of Boeing and Bell Helicopter has landed a $55 million contract modification from the U.S. Navy for repair services on various parts of its multirole combat aircraft.

The Defense Department said Tuesday the Bell Boeing Joint Program Office will provide its repair services on V-22 aircraft at facilities in Texas and Pennsylvania through December 2017.

Naval Supply Systems Command’s weapon systems support unit will obligate fiscal 2016 working capital funds at time of award.
