V2X subsidiary Vertex Modernization and Sustainment (Vertex M&S) recently won a critical potential $425 million contract from the Department of the Air Force to provide comprehensive support for the F-16 Central Display Unit (CDU) program, securing future F-16 Sustainment efforts. This significant award reinforces the company’s position as a key defense contractor for maintaining and modernizing critical U.S. military platforms.
Scope of Work and Fleet Support
The V2X contract specifically mandates Vertex M&S to supply CDU full kits, line replaceable units (LRUs), shop replaceable units (SRUs), and associated hardware. The company also provides technical support, including necessary software and firmware upgrades, organic depot support, sustainment services, and repair work.
This 10-year award—structured as a five-year base period plus a five-year option—covers both planned requirements and unforeseen needs, such as increased operational demand or potential technological enhancements for the fleet. Vertex M&S will execute the work at its specialized facility, guaranteeing ongoing support for this vital component of the F-16 Fighting Falcon. The successful award reinforces V2X’s expertise in critical aircraft maintenance and F-16 Sustainment programs.
