PTC announced that the United States Air Force (USAF) is expanding its use of PTC's Servigistics® Service Parts Management SaaS solution for its supply chain modernization program, ESCAPE. The expansion is a five-year definitive contract consisting of a one-year base period and four one-year options that are worth up to $95 million if all options are exercised. The USAF is leveraging Servigistics as the sole-source provider to plan and optimize its $76 billion service parts supply chain tuned to asset availability.

This expansion builds on the success of prior years' Servigistics deployments and enables the USAF to adopt additional functionality, phase out legacy systems, consolidate IT costs, and further improve readiness. Servigistics supports ESCAPE's effort to modernize planning and forecasting, increase aircraft availability and improve mission support functions while investing taxpayer funding in optimal parts inventory. The ESCAPE effort supports business process and systems re-engineering efforts with fully deployed future state environment functionality and capability.
