ARCTOS was awarded a multiple-award indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (MA ID/IQ) contract for third-party logistics (3PL) of non-standard rotary-wing aircraft by the U.S. Army Multi-National Aviation Special Project Office (MASPO).
ARCTOS will procure and deliver materials including equipment, supplies and related services to support critical weapon systems managed by MASPO and the Program Executive Office – Aviation in support of foreign military sales and security cooperation programs. The first two delivery orders are scheduled for Huey II aircraft parts to support allied forces in Kenya and Uganda. ARCTOS’s 3PL best practices ensure quality, engineering, safety, inventory management/controls, material tracking and delivery confirmation to meet MASPO’s requirements. ARCTOS will provide program management out of its Tampa office location and distribution centre.
The eight-year, US$44 million-ceiling 3PL contract continues ARCTOS’s legacy of advancing the MASPO mission. For the past 12 years, ARCTOS has supported three MASPO programs, providing contractor logistics support, supply chain management and operations for non-standard aircraft procurement and delivery to allied forces within Afghanistan.
“The MASPO 3PL program represents a significant effort in our expansion of ARCTOS’s non-standard aircraft portfolio and mission-based solutions as we grow our footprint throughout Africa,” said Joe Sciabica, ARCTOS Chief Technology Officer. “We are honoured to instil and retain MASPO’s confidence in our proven capabilities to source and deliver challenging aircraft parts to the DoD and foreign allies worldwide.”

There is a lot of Australia’s revenues being allocated to the so-called USA promulgated (power of suggestion) defense programs that enrich America but do little to advance the Australian Defense capacity.
Dare I say that America is making big money simply by advising Australia what must be done defense-wise to update its standards to a level demanded by the USA, which in itself serves the USA Arms & Weapons manufacturing corporations.
So, what is Australia actually gaining by taking heed of the USA advisors?
Australia has gained something, that is a full-time obligation to spend more of Australia’s revenues on Arms & Weaponry, more than likely without specific delivery dates.
This gambit does makes one scratch one’s head as to how the current reckless L/NP Federal government had agreed to the USA piracy of our Australian annual revenues?
