4 A U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command partnership with an arm of the Defense Logistics Agency will significantly reduce delivery time on necessary parts while simultaneously saving millions of dollars.
DLA Aviation – Huntsville and AMCOM Logistics Center have worked in unison for several years at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. A nine-year contract vehicle intended to streamline sole-source spare parts was finalized in late 2020.
“On the local level, we are talking about the partnership between AMCOM ALC and our depot-level repair contracting office here on Redstone,” said George Scheers, DLA Aviation – Huntsville director of procurement operations. DLA Aviation – Huntsville supports aviation and missile platforms and procures approximately $1.2 billion per year of new spare parts on behalf of ALC.
