The procurement category is specifically maintenance/repair/rebuild of engines, turbines and components. NASA says Atec possesses unique knowledge necessary for the requirement. � GovTribe 80AFRC26SS022 — “Engine Testing & Support.” Posted essentially simultaneously, Armstrong intends to sole-source Pratt & Whitney for OEM aircraft-engine testing and technical support. �
Contracts for engine rebuilds?
Spring 2026: NASA 844 disappears from its longtime outdoor display and reportedly goes into a hangar for inspection. Aviation Week says commercial satellite imagery establishes that it had been removed months before Isaacman's announcement. � Aviation Week August 31: Armstrong issues a sole-source requirement for specialized expertise on a “legacy aircraft engine,” explicitly categorized as engine maintenance/repair/rebuild. � GovTribe August 31: Armstrong simultaneously seeks Pratt & Whitney OEM engine testing/support. � GovTribe September: Isaacman puts up the mysterious Blackbird-like silhouette under “Rebuilding our X-plane portfolio,” says NASA is getting back into flying “high and fast,” and when someone identifies the silhouette as a Blackbird responds, “You sure that's a Blackbird?” � TWZ September 24: Aviation Week reveals that 844 has been removed and inspected. |

Date: September 25th, 2026 2:07 AM Author: Drunken goal in life Those are two real contracts right after the 844 was pulled for inspection. The 844 was the last SR-71 and was flight capable until 2002 when it was put in storage, not because the airframe was bad but because of a fuel line. The second contract is with P&W for OEM engine work, they designed the engine.
It's probably exploratory but if NASA is looking to build a mach3 test aircraft why not check on the one you already own? |

Date: September 30th, 2026 10:45 AM Author: Drunken goal in life Maybe the contract is for a time machine to go back and talk to the crews that mothballed the engines in 2002? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5906637&forum_id=2#50161927) |
