Boeing and the Tanker Re-Bid

After meeting with Department of Defense officials, The Boeing Company was expected to decide what its response would be to the re-bid of the $40 billion tanker contract. Boeing has essentially three choices:

1. Protest the draft Request for Proposals (RFP) put out by the Pentagon that some believe favors Boeing’s competitor, Northrop Grumman.
2. Submit a bid and try to win the contract.
3. Not submit a bid if they believe the cards are stacked against them based on the requirements in the RFP.
