AAR Named a SeaPort-e Prime Contractor for the U.S. Navy

Company poised to receive contracts in 14 categories across seven geographic zones

WOOD DALE, Illinois — AAR (NYSE: AIR) announced today that it has been named a prime contractor under the U.S. Navy Seaport-Enhanced Prime Contractor (SeaPort e) program. Through SeaPort-e, all naval agencies can issue AAR Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts to procure supply-chain and logistics services in 14 functional categories in support of unrestricted military locations in all seven of the program’s geographic zones, covering the United States.

SeaPort-e provides a standardized means of soliciting, awarding and managing offers among a group of pre-selected businesses. Services provided under the program will support the Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Air Systems Command, Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command, Naval Supply Systems Command, Military Sealift Command, Naval Facilities Command, Strategic Systems Programs, Office of Naval Research, and the Marine Corps.

“This is an important program that provides critical support, and we look forward to continuing to deliver cost-effective, reliable supply-chain and logistics services to the U.S. Navy,” said John Holmes, AAR’s Aviation Services Group Vice President – Aviation Supply Chain. “We greatly appreciate the confidence the Navy has shown in AAR with this designation.”

The SeaPort-e program was created to reduce the cost of procurement services for the U.S. Navy’s headquarters directorates, program executive offices and field activities by re-engineering their purchasing processes to maximize efficiency. The U.S. government estimates that as much as $5.3 billion of services will be procured annually via SeaPort-e multiple-award contracts.

Through its Aviation Supply Chain businesses, AAR offers a suite of products and services ranging from new and aftermarket airframe and engine parts to complete end-to-end logistics programs involving inventory and repair management.
