Valued at $22m, the DLA’s initial contract will continue for three years with Rockwell Collins delivering total supply chain management for replacement parts on the AN / ARC-171, AN / ARC-190, and AN / ARR-85 airborne communication products.

“Our teamwork will produce successful, measurable, repeatable results while allowing the airforce to truly authenticate the value PBLs have.”

Rockwell Collins Americas vice-president and managing director Alan Prowse said: “Keeping the warfighter’s mission needs as the top priority, we collaborated with the DLA and experts at Robins Air Force Base to develop a tailored parts management solution.

“Our teamwork will produce successful, measurable, repeatable results while allowing the airforce to truly authenticate the value PBLs have.”

The PBL contract is expected to provide increased readiness to the USAF by ensuring enhanced visibility to demand at the depot maintenance line and help reduce inventory and infrastructure costs.
