According to contract documents released Friday, JPATS is
looking to purchase a Boeing 737-700 or 737-800 jet with a trade-in of a 737-400.
JPATS currently owns two Boeing 737-400 aircraft, one Boeing
737-800 aircraft, and one Boeing 737-700 aircraft, which are being maintained
(all maintenance, line servicing, repair parts, and logistics support) by a
commercial contractor. JPATS operates the Boeing 737-400 aircraft and Boeing
737-800 aircraft out of their Oklahoma City, Okla. operational site and the
737-700 out of their Las Vegas, Nev. operational site, which will soon be
relocated to Kansas City, Mo.
JPATS pilots are currently type rated to fly either the
Boeing 737 Classic aircraft (Boeing 737-300/400/500) or the Boeing 737 NG
aircraft (Boeing 737-600/700/800). A type rating is a certification of a pilot
to fly a certain aircraft type that requires additional training beyond the
scope of the initial pilot’s certificate.
JPATS pilots currently receive both initial and recurrent
737 Classic and 737 NG flight training through an established contract with a
Federal Aviation Administration-approved training entity.
In January, JPATS released a Request For Information
document related to the aircraft purchase and received responses from three companies:
- AerSale, Inc
- AAR Aircraft Services
- Berwin Group, LLC
“Adequate market research was conducted for this requirement
and the Contracting Officer has adequate historical pricing,” JPATS said in contract
documents. “The Contracting Officer has determined that the anticipated cost of
$26.5 million to the government will be fair and reasonable.”
Companies interested in providing an aircraft under the
contract have until Sept. 11 to submit a proposal. The final date to submit
questions is Aug. 24.
The aircraft must be delivered 12 weeks after the award of the order.
The anticipated award timeframe is January 2024.

Biden Jnr now has his own jet
Is Nick Cage gonna be a passenger?
A step down from from Trump’s usual aircraft, but hey, beggars can’t be choosers.
Perhaps the Biden Family Crime Cartel can take the inaugural flight to Leavenworth!
To all you cowards afraid to post your names, Biden is at least doing the nations business, trying to fix the countries problems. He's not perfect but at least he's doing his job. Trump is a traitor, plain and simple - he tried to overthrow the government. Benedict Arnold sound familiar ? Wake up, our freedom is fragile. Ask any vet that fought for this country.
Yeah that ought to be big enough for the whold Biden Crime Family & Friends.
Hay Jerold I am a vet who fought for the this country, and Biden and all the Boidenistas are doing Nothing For the country, just for themselves. Trump did a Lot for this country. Explain to us how Biden came by all that money in government service. Can't do it, can you.
James
He and his wife signed multi-million dollar book deals after leaving office. How's that for an explanation?
Drain the swamp!!!
Plenty big for Trump and all the others
Hey
Jerold,,,,,you don't know anything about this country try FIGHTING FOR IT and you might learn something about VETS,,,,,little biden is not doing a dam thing for the country except raising taxes on everything and gas is through the roof bro ,,,learn something
Since this is not a new aircraft order from Boeing, I am curious about the retrofit that is needed for a passenger airliner to become a secure prisoner transport.
A737 won’t be big enough to carry the entire Biden crime cartel.
This is astounding! Do you all really believe this stuff? If you do, you really have to have your heads examined.
The Biden crime cartel 😂🤣😂
He cannot be trusted with your dog let alone in office. This nation needs Donald.
Ask Douglas Mackey what happens when you speak bad in the internet of the supreme dictator Biden— you’ll end up on the 737. Or Matt Taibi or Michael Shellenberger. The actions of the Biden DOJ going after Biden political opponents (it actually started in the Obama admin) combined with the mounting evidence being brought by the house sure makes it seem that, yes, the “Biden Crime Family” is a real thing complete with its band of henchmen and fixers (DOJ)- and is far more powerful and reaching than any mafia family could ever imagine. So, ya- I’d probably post anonymously, else you’ll end up on. 737 bound for a federal prison… just ask Douglas Mackey.
You guys all need a fu%*ing life..... jesus
