S&K Aerospace Partners With SalesPatriot to Automate $4.3 Billion PROS 7 Operations

S&K Aerospace will deploy SalesPatriot artificial intelligence and workflow automation across its aerospace maintenance, repair, supply and sustainment operations, including the $4.3 billion PROS 7 contract, the company said in a Business Wire announcement on October 22, 2026.

How the SalesPatriot Deployment Works

S&K Aerospace said the partnership covers thousands of supply and repair requirements supporting U.S. military and international customers. SalesPatriot will be deployed across S&K's maintenance, repair and overhaul operations and incorporated into the PROS 7 operating environment.

The company said it plans to use SalesPatriot to improve sourcing and supplier engagement, increase vendor response, reduce avoidable cancellations, streamline pricing documentation, automate reporting and identify aging requirements earlier. SalesPatriot will automate source research, supplier identification, pricing analysis, quote comparison, vendor follow-up, documentation, reporting and management dashboards.

"From an operations standpoint, the real value is being able to see problems sooner and spend less time working around disconnected processes," said Mike Delaney, Vice President of Operations for S&K Aerospace. "If we can identify sourcing problems earlier, get better information to suppliers, reduce manual follow-up and know which requirements are starting to get into trouble, we have a much better chance of preventing delays and cancellations."

Tim Horne, Senior Vice President of Business Development, said the technology is meant to help S&K scale what it already does well. Ran Aviles, Vice President of Sales Development, said SalesPatriot should help S&K connect opportunities across its OEM, repair facility and supplier relationships and make better use of its buying power.

SalesPatriot will operate alongside S&K's existing company and Government systems rather than replacing required systems of record, providing an additional workflow and automation layer. S&K will measure results through increased sourcing and bidding activity, stronger supplier response rates, shorter processing cycles, fewer avoidable cancellations, improved award and fill rates, faster documentation and better management visibility.

S&K Aerospace Contract and Program Records

According to akta.pro company records, S&K Aerospace was selected in May 2026 as an awardee on the DoD Contract Field Teams LASR IDIQ contract in both the Small Business and Full & Open pools, securing access to a $7.009 billion maximum ceiling value vehicle. The same records show a long-standing co-development partnership with P.A.R.T.S. Inc. on the proprietary Parts and Repair Ordering System platform, providing web-based real-time parts procurement for DoD and Foreign Military Sales customers.

PROS 7 Transition Steps

As part of the PROS 7 transition, S&K will work directly with key suppliers to understand quoting challenges and identify ways to improve the sourcing process. Lessons learned from the MRO and PROS 7 implementations will help identify additional opportunities across S&K's Aerospace Business Unit.
