Trading Summary - March 25.
A more than satisfactory and loading opportunity day for $TMPS - with more upward progress - as the clock keeps running down on letting the contract for the 2020 MAC + recent USAF developments becoming public.
As usual, various traders were outbidding each other up to the now unrealistic .1800.
With it being obvious that the majority of cheap shares below .3000 are held by the long-term followers for a reason, the person who had put a loading wall of 7,500 at .2000 for the past few days reduced to 5,000 and then cancelled after filling only 2,000.
Then a buy of 10,463 on the next ask at .2149 / .2150 followed.
A further 1,850 were bought at .2149.
Overall, 18,053 shares were bought today at prices as follows:
.2149 / .2150: 12,313 [new recent high]
.2100: 100 [paint down at close]
.2028: 2,000 [failed paint down attempt - hidden bid fill]
.2000: 2,200
.19745 > .1975: 600 [2 x failed paint down attempt]
.1930 > .1940: 840 [3 x failed paint down attempt]
Compared to March 24:
.2000: 15,500
.1900: 2,000
.1948: 4,550
.1910: 2,500
.1800: 2,000 [none after 10:08:34]
Compared to March 23:
.1900: 4,500
.1805: 4,000
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 by March 31, 2020 if in DoD FY Q2 as originally planned.
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.
Progress of the 2020 MAC staffing that is releasable to the public can be viewed here [reference CAS_AAR_RFI]:

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.

The next thing we should see is an update at the Federal government website showing the actual final version RFP - or if information on the RFP not being released to the public - an announcement of the contract on the DoD Contracts website.
Announcements of DoD contracts are posted Mon-Fri after 1700 hours EST and this may happen before any update at beat.sam.gov - check here:

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:
