WOOD DALE, Ill., March 3, 2025 -- AAR CORP. (NYSE: AIR), a leading provider of aviation services to commercial and government operators, MROs, and OEMs, has added distribution support of select Unison parts under its Supplier Capabilities Contract with Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation.
"In 2022, AAR was the first non-OEM to be awarded a 20-year base Supplier Capabilities Contract with the DLA."
This multiple year agreement leverages AAR's exclusive distribution capabilities for sole source spare parts manufactured by Unison in support of various military aircraft platforms. AAR will provide comprehensive and integrated supply chain management support and perform associated functions to maximize the availability of parts to the DLA. This relationship reduces supply volatility through improved material availability.
In 2022, AAR was the first non-OEM to be awarded a 20-year base Supplier Capabilities Contract with the DLA, establishing a strategic relationship to provide total global supply chain support to the Department of Defense and to U.S. allies.
"AAR is proud to further grow our strategic partnership with the DLA through this new agreement," said Frank Landrio, AAR's Senior Vice President of Distribution. "Expanding our product offerings under our Supplier Capabilities Contract to include Unison's proprietary parts will enhance the level of support we provide the U.S. government."
