Tristars to fly?

Post by Berf »

TriStar Air, LLC,* Newport News, Virginia, is awarded a $121,425,707 indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity task order contract for aerial refueling services in support of the Department of the Navy, other Department of Defense agencies, and Foreign Military Sales customers. Work will be performed in Riverside, California (50 percent); Brunswick, Georgia (40 percent); and various locations outside the continental U.S. (10 percent), and is expected to be completed in April 2024. No funds are being obligated at the time of award, funds will be obligated on individual orders as they are issued.

I’m sure this is about the third time this contract’s been announced.

In 2018 the company Tempus announced they had bought the Tristars. In the last day or so a contract with the DoD and Tristar LLC for flight refuelling has been announced.

I wonder if the other bidders will appeal?

I guess when the TriStars finally leave Bruntingthorpe, we’ll know it’s on.
