V2X wins $4.3B Air Force jet contract

Reston-headquartered aerospace and defense contractor V2X announced last week that it has been awarded a potential nine-year, $4.3 billion contract by the U.S. Air Force for supply services supporting T-6 jets.

The company will provide supply support to ensure the aircraft is safe, flyable and meets the daily flight schedules and depot requirements of the Air Force, Navy and Army.

“We are honored by this award and for the trust placed in us by the U.S. Air Force,” V2X President and CEO Jeremy C. Wensinger said in a statement. “This contract reflects the dedication of our team and the pride we take in supporting the readiness of our nation’s aircraft. We are excited to begin this new work and look forward to serving the mission for years to come.”

The Fortune 1000 company will perform the work at various military bases across the United States and expects it to be completed by July 2034.

“This is a proud moment for our entire aerospace team,” said Vinny Caputo, V2X’s senior vice president of aerospace systems. “The T-6 program is foundational to pilot training across the services, and we are committed to delivering the highest standards of performance, reliability and mission readiness. We’re excited to bring our proven supply chain expertise to this critical effort.”

V2X was formed by the $2.1 billion merger of Vertex and Vectrus in 2022 and has about 16,000 employees. The company reported $4.32 billion in revenue in 2024, up 9% from the previous year.
