Under this contract, Rolls Royce shall provide a comprehensive FOD Studies and Analysis Program that shall include: On-site study, engineering analysis and technical services to address and mitigate safety and logistics issues for the F402 engine. This program will focus on increasing the operational readiness and safety of flight by reducing FOD rates on the F402 Engine. The Period of Performance for this contract is six months.
