About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command's 763d Contracting Squadron issued a sole source justification notice for the procurement of 35 Versatile Integrating Partner-Nation Equipment Refueling (VIPER) Kits and 23 associated fueling hoses from Griswold Industries, operating as CLA-VAL Company. The VIPER Kits are mission-critical equipment supporting the Air Force's Agile Combat Employment doctrine by enabling rapid "hot pit" refueling operations that significantly reduce operational timelines across 26 Continental United States Air Force bases. The sole source justification is based on CLA-VAL's proprietary configuration developed through an AFWERX Spark Tank initiative, with the vendor being the only source capable of meeting the Air Force's specific technical requirements outlined in Technical Order 00-25-172. Market research and a Sources Sought notice confirmed CLA-VAL as the exclusive provider for this specialized refueling equipment. The contract was awarded on September 30, 2025, with a 180-day lead time after receipt of order, though the specific contract value was not disclosed in the available documentation. The procurement includes VIPER Kits (Part Number 2139640X), 3" x 75' fueling hoses, and 3" x 10' fueling hoses designed for lightweight, quick fuel transfer operations.
