Engine Air Particle Separator (EAPS) Blowers and Inlet Guide Vanes (IGVs) Redesign for V-22 Osprey

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to award a delivery order under Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) to Bell Boeing on a sole source basis for non-recurring engineering efforts to redesign the current Engine Air Particle Separator (EAPS) Blowers and Inlet Guide Vanes (IGVs) on United States Navy (USN) and United States Marine Corps (USMC) V-22 Osprey aircraft. The redesign is intended to improve the functionality of the blower and improve performance to its intended state. Contract deliverables will include engineering change proposals, manufacturing drawings, operating instructions and limits, maintenance instructions, rework/repair procedures, life limits, reliability and maintainability predictions, technical reports, specification change notices, and test reports. • The redesign of the EAPS and IGV are intended to improve the functionality of the blower and improve performance to its intended state. • The current EAPS and IGV stall in areas of the flight envelope where a stall should not occur, which poses a safety risk to aircraft and aircrew. • The period of performance for these task orders will be one year during Calendar Year 2026. • Bell Boeing is the sole designer, developer, and integrator of the above engines and is uniquely qualified to provide the complete range of program support required by the fleet.
