Interesting development at the USAF tanker proposal
Monday, August 11. 2008
According to a report at Aviationweek Boeing thinks about to leave the tanker rebidding process. The new proposal gives more credits to a bigger tanker and thus a 767 based tanker wouldn´t be competitive to a A330 based tanker ... and as i wrote before. A 777 based tanker is no alternative for Boeing besides of the short timeframe for this proposal.
Now, however, the Pentagon is pushing for the replacement tankers as soon as possible after multiple delays. It remains unclear if a no-bid position from Boeing would drag out the KC-X competition or it if would compel the Pentagon to attempt a sole-source of the work to Northrop Grumman/EADS.This is an interesting development. Stopping the former decision with the help of the GOA just do leave the proposal process afterwards will not help to make friends for future proposals ....

In order for Boeing to retract their submission it would require a drastic change in the specifications in the RFP, further if Boeing believes that the Procurement dept. has rewritten the specifications to justify their awarding of the contract to Airbus/NG then none of this will go forward.
The GAO will not allow this to happen, the American congress will not allow this to happen under law!!!!!
The Air force changed the specifications to cover up their mistakes in the first RFP, by allowing a larger aircraft that was not allowed under the original RFP, the GAO said very clearly that no points were to be allowed because the AB/NG was larger, now the Air force has rewritten that clause.
This whole thing reeks of fish, somebody is getting paid off!

I don´t think this smells fishy.
1. A bigger tanker was allowed in the second RFP. It just didn´t got more credits. The Air Force prefers bigger tankers, so it clarified this task in the third RFP.
2. Perhaps the proponents of Boeing should accept, that there is a situation, where Boeing don´t have product, whereas the competion can deliver one. That´s business. Sometimes you win, some you lose. Live with it ...
And at the end: Boeing should talk about fishy proposals after their behaviour in the first RFP made it necessarry to repeat it. Or is fishy leasing deal already forgotten by most US people?
