Avibras recently won the bidding process for the cataloguing of the “Tamandaré Class” Frigates. The contract lasts for one year and may be extended.

The Brazilian Navy has been conducting the “Tamandaré Class” Frigates Program since 2017 with the objective of promoting the renewal of the fleet with four modern ships, of high technological complexity, built in the country and scheduled to be delivered between 2025-2029.

Avibras is the first private industry in Brazil to be able to act as a Cataloguing Unit (UniCat) together with the Ministry of Defence, reinforcing its pioneering spirit and expertise in this area. UniCats are entities authorized to provide cataloguing services for supply items used or of interest to the Armed Forces.

In December of last year, the company received a technical visit from the Support Centre for Defence Logistic Systems (CASLODE), which verified in loco Avibras’ excellence in providing cataloguing services.

Since 2016, Avibras has carried out and commercialized codification services, which consist of collecting technical data to establish the identification and ordering of items in the form of a North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) catalogue, bringing international visibility to the products and prominence in the export scenario, in addition to economic and operational benefits in the logistics area. Avibras has already catalogued more than 20,000 items (part numbers) among its own and third-party equipment.
