Copy of a post I just made on iHub - now $TMPS is
Post# of 2306
Short version summary extracted from my work on the main board elsewhere (ie here on Investors Hangout):
The Industry Day for a potential 2020 Contracted Air Services (CAS) Air-to-Air Refueling (AAR) Multi-Award Contract (MAC) to replace the protested contract awarded to $TMPS and requiring corrective action (but larger, multi-company and for twice as long) was held on September 12, 2019.
The new (from Nov 2019) Government website beta.SAM.gov shows that it is still the USN's intent to award a Multi (company) Award Contract (presumed to be $TMPS + Omega as the only companies in the field available in the timescale) for AAR in DoD 2020 Q2 (which ends March 31, 2020).
Keep an eye out for developments on the future contract to be awarded up to March 31, 2020 (latest).
Companies interested in being considered for inclusion in the 2020 MAC were required to provide inputs to the USN by January 8, 2020.

The deadline for those companies interested in being considered as part of the 2020 MAC to provide information requested by the USN - and / or to comment on the Draft Request For Proposals (from the USN to interested companies for them to bid against) has now expired.
The next thing we should see is an update at the Federal government website showing the actual final version RFP.
US Transportation Command (TRANSCOM) is now in agreement with the USAF Air Mobility Command (AMC) that contracted out AAR should be considered to alleviate the shortfall in availability caused by the numerous, long delays to the KC-46A tanker program and has already held an Industry Day which was attended by 12 interested companies. Some of these will be the manufacturers for new build and some may be operators of Red Air aggressor aircraft considering using buddy-buddy pods or buying ex-military tankers to expand their operation - Omega and $TMPS remain the only US companies owning military tanker fleets).
A 2nd Industry Day for the US TRANSCOM contract opportunity was held on December 17, 2019.

On February 10, the USAF FY21 Plan called for the early retirement of a number of KC-135s and KC-10s - making contractorization of part of its task even more likely.
