Boeing to Bid Again on Tanker

The Boeing Company will have another chance of competing for the $35 billion Air Force tanker contract after Boeing’s protest of the award to competitor Northrup Grumman Corp. was upheld by the Government Accountability Office (GAO).

The Defense Department will be issuing a revised Request for Proposals (RFP) this month. However, some parties question whether the revised RFP unfairly favors Northrup Grumman.
