SPRINGFIELD, VA January 24, 2024 – PD Power Systems, LLC, a privately held Veteran-Owned Small Business, announced that it received two contract awards to deliver eighty (80) low-rate initial production (LRIP) Ground Power Units to U.S. Air Force.
PD Power Systems was awarded a $482,000,000 maximum Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity contract award for 72kW GPUs in November 2022 by the U.S. Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Robins Air Force Base in Georgia. The contract provides for development, testing, and production of 72kW GPUs along with associated data deliverables including test reports, provisioning and technical manuals. Deliveries will continue through November 2032. The PD Power Systems 72kW Ground Power Unit (GPU) is designed to provide stand-alone external ground power to all aircraft in the U.S. Air Force inventory.
“The selection of PD Power Systems and being given the opportunity to support the critical power needs for the United States Ground Power Modernization program is a reflection of our background, experience, and technical capabilities that meet the requirements of this important and complex program. PD Power Systems has demonstrated our ability to engineer and produce on many similar power needs on other products that support other critical programs. We are honored to have the confidence of our United States Air Force customers and are excited to deliver,” stated Mazen Badr, President of PD Power Systems.
PD Power Systems’ relationship with the United States Air Force was established decades ago through the support of the Harvest Falcon Harvest Eagle program where we supplied thousands of power generation and distribution products, as we continue currently to do so in many existing task orders. Similar ground power units were also engineered by PD Power Systems in support of the Boeing F15 aircraft on a US Air Force program as well.
