CINCINNATI – August 26, 2025 – GE Aerospace (NYSE:GE) and their customer United States Naval Supply Systems Command have received the Secretary of Defense Performance-Based Logistics (PBL) government / industry of the year award for 2024. The award recognizes the teams’ support of the stores management system with the U.S. Marine Corps in support of the F/A-18, AV-8B and AH1-Z aircraft globally, enabling fleet readiness.
“Our team is honored to receive this award from the Department of Defense,” said Matt Burns, general manager of Avionics Systems for GE Aerospace. “It’s great recognition of GE Aerospace’s expertise and commitment to support our customers.”
Earlier this year, GE Aerospace announced a new five-year agreement with the U.S. Navy that builds on a series of previous PBL contracts supporting more than two decades of availability for the U.S. Navy.
Under the performance-based logistics, GE Aerospace supports stores management systems used in mission critical operations for the U.S. Navy fleets of F/A-18, AV-8B and AH1-Z aircraft globally. In addition to the supply, warehousing, and logistics management of the spares, GE Aerospace provides depot level repair of aircraft units and subassemblies and fleet support at major naval bases providing training and technical support.
GE Aerospace’s stores management systems provide scalable architectures with redundant centralized or distributed stores management while maintaining standard stores station interfaces and safety critical release control.
