Mint KRACEn Contract Award (pdf)

MCLEAN, VIRGINIA. April 22, 2020. M International, Inc., is pleased to announce subsidiary MINT
Turbines, LLC (Stroud, Oklahoma) was selected as an awardee on the Kits, Recovery, Augmentation,
Components and Engines (KRACEn) Multiple Award Contract (MAC) supporting the United States
Navy.

Commander, Fleet Readiness Center (COMFRC) awarded a 10-year, $6.1 billion, enterprise contract
vehicle to 42 small business industry partners on April 14, enabling U.S. Navy, government
customers and international partners to procure aircraft maintenance services and sustainment
support quicker.

The Kits, Recovery, Augmentation, Components and Engines—commonly called KRACEn—is an
indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) MAC that will provide maintenance services and
support for single satellite sites, small aircraft quantities, personnel to augment government
maintenance teams and overhaul capabilities for aircraft components and subsystems. This is
COMFRC’s first, multi-billion contract award.

The MAC’s scope of work, which is set aside for small-businesses, includes modification kit build and
installations, recovery of downed aircraft, repair and overhaul of aircraft and components, repair and
overhaul of engines and augmentation labor supplement for maintenance both ashore and afloat.

“As one of 42 small business industry partners, Mint Turbines will help enable COMFRC to effectively
use the KRACEn enterprise contract vehicle allowing the Navy meet its sustainment needs
expeditiously while delivering improved outcomes,” COMFRC Executive Director Roy Harris said.
“KRACEn is a crucial addition to our traditional organic capabilities, providing us with the means to
tap into the expertise of small business industry partners.”

The nature of the work covered by KRACEn—simple platform, organizational-level Contractor
Logistic Services (CLS) requirements involving few aircraft, elemental or off-aircraft tasks—is well suited for small businesses, according to COMFRC Acquisition Group, CLS Division Lead Chris
Giggey. The CLS Division, formally known as the Fast Acquisition Solutions to Enable Readiness
(FASTER) team, was charted by Commander, Naval Air Systems Command in 2018 to improve
acquisition speed and quality of services by developing expertise in CLS contracting.

“I’m proud to recognize MINT Turbines as an Awardee on this MAC supporting the U.S. Navy and
additional Government customers,” stated Rob Ruck, President & COO of M International, Inc. “This
award recognizes our employees for their hard work and dedication to providing the very best in
engine and component maintenance, repair and overhaul services every day, and we look forward
to begin supporting the U.S. Navy.”
