Air Force Issues New Draft Solicitation For Delayed VIP Airlift Competition

摘要

The Air Force has released a new set of draft bidding documents for a competition to sustain two fleets of VIP airlift aircraft - an acquisition program the service has already pushed back by at least a year to give it time to prepare a better request for proposals. The aircraft in question are the C-32 and C-40, both of which are derivatives of Boeing commercial airframes; they are used to transport senior military and civilian government officials. Boeing is the prime sustainment contractor today, and the Air Force is looking for logistics support for 15 total aircraft.
