About this opportunity

The Department of the Navy Naval Air Warfare Center has issued a Justification for Exception to Fair Opportunity (JEFO) for Air-to-Air Refueling (AAR) services under contract N00421-21-D-0033. The task order, valued at $5,837,024.28, was awarded to CASS Professional Services (CPS) to provide contractor-owned and operated aircraft for AAR training for P-8A and E-2D aircraft squadrons. CPS was selected as the sole responsible source due to their unique qualifications, including FAA-certified aircraft with Navy interim flight clearance and the ability to provide specialized services without delays. The contract encompasses a total of 244 flight hours, with 202 hours in the base period and 42 hours in the option period, supporting CNAL CPRW 10&11 / VAW 121 & 123 squadrons. The justification highlights that while another contractor exists on the AAR Multiple Award Contract, they lack the necessary aircraft authorization to perform the required AAR operations, effectively making CPS the only viable provider for these specialized training services.
