Customer feedback is the best way of learning about a contractor and the level of performance provided. Two recent comments from a prime contractor supporting the Big Safari Program at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio and the Commander of the Defense Supply Center Richmond illustrate that working with Derco Aerospace, Inc. results in a job well done. "Please accept my sincere thanks for a super job of support!!"

54H60 Propeller Virtual Prime Vendor (VPV) Program
Derco is a subcontractor to Hamilton Sundstrand on this Virtual Prime Vendor (VPV) contract to manage the supplier base and fulfillment of all customer requisitions for piece parts and rotable assets for the 54H60 propeller system. This is the propeller assembly for most P-3 and C-130 aircraft.
Derco is responsible for both Government Furnished Material (GFM) and Contractor Furnished Material (CFM) stock. Derco has a dedicated staff who manages this program. Derco uses DLA forecasts, historical usage, MTBF analysis, and vendor history to manage the program MRP. Derco buyers then contract with approved Hamilton Sundstrand sources of supply to provide the requisite piece parts. Upon receipt all parts are inducted through Derco’s ISO 9001 certified quality assurance procedures, which include inspection and validation. Derco warehouses the parts segregating government owned material in accordance with government property control procedures. This major subcontract requires engagement of the using community, DSC Richmond, Hamilton Sundstrand, and Derco.

Derco manages component repairs from several subcontractors under various pricing methodologies including power-by-the-hour. The “fill rate” for the program is being exceeded showing that Derco’s mature processes and procedures for vendor management, planning and forecasting pay dividends to the U.S. Navy customer in better helicopter availability.
