What does HPS suplly to Boeing?

In the photos of the tour of the HPS compound there is a sign hanging from the roof saying
"Preferred Supplier To The Boeing Company"
Anyone know what they supply Boeing with?

Ah cripes! LOL. I am sure the will be an awe inspiring response that turbine engines and hydraulic systems are hand machined by engineers with multiple Ph.Ds and MS degrees, who suprisingly all drive HPS supercharged MBs but man that is funny.

Our company is qualified to government and military levels of quality assurance. Our company manufactures a wide variety of aerospace and defense products, including aircraft and aircraft parts, guided missiles and space vehicles, and other related aerospace and defense components systems for Boeing!

Adam, you should know this well... What's HPS' Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code?

Wow, but Boeing lost the commercial jetliners race to ScareBus for the first time ever. Fly Boeing, Fly Often.

No longer car shopping...
typical response

typical marketing response. .3 seconds on the company your inquiring about and a lengthy disertation on a company we already know about? WTF? Do we REALLY need three pages on who Boeing is?

I just want to see what you supply to the government.. If you ever deal with the government, they require all the deliverables be catagorized under a National Stock Number (NSN). I just want to know your CAGE code so I can see exactly what you supply to The Boeing Company and/or the government.

What is your Aerospace Company's name?
