These parts boost the availability of material for fleet readiness.

NAVSUP WSS contracting officer Stephen Van Note said: “This contract will improve material availability for the covered components, which will no longer be a detriment to the larger platform metrics of mission-capable and fully mission-capable rates.

“Further, the contract maintains the public-private partnership supporting this platform as it requires a full partnership between the Navy Organic Depot, Fleet Readiness Center East, and Parker-Hannifin.”

This contract with Parker-Hannifin is expected to bring increased supply availability to the complete CH-53 and MH-53 platform.

NAVSUP WSS renewed a $2.3bn H-60 Seahawk performance-based logistics (PBL) contract in February, reported Tristan Pavlik of Navy.mil. This contract was signed with Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission System (LMRMS).
