Trading Summary - February 20.
Overall, a satisfactory pretty much status quo day for $TMPS as the clock keeps running down on letting the contract for the 2020 MAC + recent USAF developments becoming public.
After people failed to hit the ask yesterday to get the easy .3000 break, those few people who just jumped on the dramatic move up without considering medium and long-term prospects for the stock put up walked down asks below the 2020 high of .2900 and were not bought out at the open.
All that happened thereafter was a small amount of jockeying around for position with long-term traders of the stock buying from those that just wanted a small short term profit.
By the end of the session, the ask was being hit again with .2491 up and almost nothing offered under .2900 - because trades on the bid in the .2551 > .2200 range had been made by those previously walking down an ask in the .2900 > .2650 range - making the stock so much thinner back to a potential .3000+ break.
Overall, 49,486 shares were bought today - in the .2200 > .2800 range - at prices as follows:
.2800: 1,666
.2650 / 2663: 10,000
.2500 > .2576: 20,470
.2491 > .2496: 8,000
.2300 > .2391: 6,700
.2200 > .2246: 2,650
Very little is being offered under .7500.
The Industry Day for a potential 2020 CAS AAR MAC to replace the extant contract awarded to $TMPS (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 TRANSCOM is now in agreement with the USAF 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.
30% of the US TRANSCOM requirement is for "probe-and-drogue" - the type $TMPS can provide.
Some of these were manufacturers for new build aircraft (eg Airbus) and some may be operators of Red Air aggressor fighter aircraft considering buying ex-military tankers to expand their operation - Omega and $TMPS remain the only US companies currently owning military tanker fleets.
A 2nd Industry Day for the US TRANSOM 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 the its task even more likely.

Also watch for any developments in the UK with wholly owned subsidiary Tristar Air UK Ltd and / or work on the Tristars.
Warning ! Anyone who is seen posting nonsense on iHub on any on the thinly traded stocks I'm a shareholder in - especially when small paint downs are also seen along with undercut asks - can expect to have their user ID passed to the SEC which has now started to take action against those using the exact modus operandi I have detected and commented on for the past 2 years:
