STS Aviation Group has been selected as a prime contractor awardee for the US Air Force’s KC-46 Commercial Common Repairable Support (CASPER) programme.
The CASPER contract covers repair and exchange requirements for KC-46 tanker aircraft components. STS Aviation Group will be eligible to compete for individual task orders over a five-year ordering period under the programme, which has a total contract ceiling of more than $470 million.
The support will include component repair management, exchange services, documentation, quality compliance and coordination with repair partners.
PJ Anson, CEO of STS Aviation Group, said, “This award is an important step for STS Aviation Group and the continued growth of our defense sustainment capabilities. The KC-46 is a critical platform, and CASPER gives us the opportunity to support aircraft readiness with the speed, discipline, and accountability STS has built across commercial aviation.”
