Tinker and the Primes

Welcome to the Eastern Oklahoma County MRO & Aerospace Partnership web site. Under the brand name AeroEOC (Aerospace Eastern Oklahoma County), the partnership’s mission is to brand, promote, and grow the considerable MRO & Aerospace assets located in Eastern Oklahoma County, especially in and around Tinker Air Force Base and its Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center (OC-ALC).

The partnership’s mission objectives are:

• Support growth and profitability for existing MRO & Aerospace businesses.
• Recruit new MRO & Aerospace missions and contractors to the area.
• Promote access to new business opportunities for non-MRO & Aerospace businesses as contractors or subcontractors for government and/or private sector MRO & Aerospace projects.
• Serve as a forum for issues impacting Eastern Oklahoma County’s MRO & Aerospace industry.

The OC-ALC and its surrounding partners form a world class hub for military aircraft sustainment. Based on FY-2004 data, the OC-ALC awarded approx. $4.8 billion in annual contracting actions. Tinker Air Force Base is Oklahoma’s largest single-site employer with approximately 26,000 military, civilian, and contractor employees. Tinker’s statewide economic impact approaches $3 billion.
