Airforce Technology Information

"We offer an accurate, reliable and affordable solution to track and plan for obsolete parts." Equipped with a database accessing more than 100 million parts, the AVCOM is a web-enabled suite of tools and services, designed to provide real-time component status and procurement options, as well as early warnings of obsolescence to the government and commercial customers. Designed to address inexpensive, small-scale to large-scale projects, as well as complex requirements, the system serves as a primary tool for diminishing manufacturing sources (DMS) management across USAF, and also delivers significant savings for the total cost of a system or platform. The solution has provided extensive obsolescence management functionality for the Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) and other defence contractors since 2001. Work will be primarily conducted at the company's facility at Fort Walton Beach in Florida, US, with additional work to be carried out at Hill Air Force Base in Utah, Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma and Robins Air Force Base in Georgia, US.
