About this file
This document is a Sole Source Justification for the U.S. Air Force's procurement of 35 Versatile Integrating Partner-Nation Equipment Refueling (VIPER) Kits from Cla-Val. The acquisition is for 35 VIPER Kits (Part Number 2139640X) and associated fueling hoses, to be used across 26 CONUS U.S. Air Force bases. The total estimated contract value is for Fiscal Year 25, with a lead time of 180 days after receipt of order. The specific contract line items include the VIPER Kit, a 3" x 75' Fueling Hose, and a 3"x10 Fueling Hose.
The justification emphasizes that Cla-Val is the sole source for this proprietary configuration, developed through an AFWERX Spark Tank initiative. The kit is considered mission-critical, supporting the Air Force's Agile Combat Employment doctrine by enabling rapid "hot pit" refueling that dramatically reduces operational timelines. The document highlights the kit's unique capabilities, including lightweight design, quick fuel transfer, and significant logistics advantages. Market research and a Sources Sought notice confirmed Cla-Val as the only vendor capable of meeting the Air Force's specific technical requirements outlined in Technical Order 00-25-172.
