# DLA, Parker Aerospace cut ribbon for cost saving partnership

By Dawn BonsellDLA Distribution Public Affairs Officer

                NEW CUMBERLAND, Pa.   –              
Defense Logistics Agency Distribution Commander Navy Rear Adm. Grafton D. Chase, Jr., officiated a ribbon cutting ceremony on Hill Air Force Base, Utah, marking the third Defense Logistics Agency public private partnership between DLA and Parker Aerospace, Feb.9.   

Chase, along with Carl Kubat, Parker Aerospace’s vice president of military aftermarket, officially cut the ribbon on the PPP, along with Air Force Col. Jason Okumura, DLA Aviation at Ogden, Utah; James McArthur, DDHU director; Mark Strawn, DLA Aviation Ogden, Utah; and Joe Saffron, DLA Distribution business development.  

The largest DLA PPP in terms of scope, financial impact and number of supported weapons systems, this partnership also represents two DLA major subordinate commands working together to support the warfighter. DLA Aviation created the $444 million weapons system performance based logistics contract with Parker Aerospace and DLA Distribution is supporting Parker Aerospace’s ability to fulfill that contract through the PPP for warehousing.                 Defense Logistics Agency Distribution Hill, Utah, is storing Parker Aerospace material, including brakes and actuators for five legacy aircraft, directly facing the maintenance activity at Ogden Air Logistics Center on Hill Air Force Base.

As with all PPP’s, the material, including brakes and actuators for five legacy aircraft, is stored inside the wire in DLA Distribution Hill, Utah’s warehouse, directly facing the maintenance activity at Ogden Air Logistics Center. This expedites parts delivery to the maintenance line, and in the end, gets the planes back to the warfighter faster. The partnership also increases the Defense Department and DLA’s organic network utilization. The five-year combination of Defense Working Capital Fund revenue, cost avoidance and cost reduction is $1.7 million.

Section 883 of the 2017 NDAA, authorized DLA to create five pilot PPPs for “storage and distribution services support to a contractor in support of the production, modification, maintenance, or repair of a weapon system.” The DDHU – Parker Aerospace PPP marks the successful execution of all five pilots.
