Aerospace distributor Herndon Products is proud to announce that it will continue supplying parts and managing the depot maintenance supply chain for US Air Force aircraft at three USAF sites.

The two-year contract extension is valued at 86 million and covers the first option period of the seven-year agreement.  Three additional option periods, if exercised, could bring the contract value to more than 400 million.

Aerospace distributor Herndon Products, the worlds leading supplier of aerospace consumable products and services, is supporting Lockheed Martin (LMT), which received a two-year extension on their Integrated Prime Vendor contract by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) earlier this month.

Under the agreement, Herndon Products and its subsidiary will provide as many as 10,000 parts, consisting mostly of fasteners, Grade 5 bolts, Grade 5 screws, nuts and electrical components, on a just-in-time basis to Lockheed Martin at the USAF's Warner Robins, Oklahoma City and Ogden Air Logistics centers.

"Working with our partners at Lockheed, we will reduce expenses at these defense supply centers in the areas of procurement, quality and planning," said Scott Herndon, president of Herndon Products.  "Our portfolio of consumable aerospace hardware parts coupled with world-class quality and supply chain planning processes position us uniquely to provide value to the Air Force."
