Defense Watch: PAE Contract Extension, Peraton Lobbyist, Defiant X

摘要

Contract Extension. Customs and Border Protection plans to award a potential six-month, $72 million contract extension to PAE to continue providing maintenance and logistics support for most of the agency’s fleet of manned aircraft. PAE, the incumbent contractor for the work, is protesting in federal court CBP’s decision to award a new support contract to Amentum. The current contract expires on Sept. 30 and CBP said a potential contract extension is necessary in case the U.S. Court of Federal Claims upholds PAE’s protest, which was rejected by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) in June, prompting PAE to pursue its complaints about CBP’s award decision in court.
