BOMArchiveHelper is the default archive file handler in Mac OS X. It is a service application that has no GUI when double-clicked, rather it is invoked by opening its associated files or by choosing "Create archive of 'file'" in the Finder's File or contextual menu. It is located in /System/Library/CoreServices/BOMArchiveHelper.app. Prior to its inclusion in Mac OS X v10.3 most users used StuffIt Expander for almost all archive decompression.

BOM stands for "Bill of Materials".
