Boeing may urge DOD to slow process for rebidding tanker contract

Boeing said it may support slowing down the process of rebidding for an aerial refueling tanker contract if the DOD changes its specifications. Boeing will compete for the contract against a team led by Northrop Grumman. Northrop won the last contract for the tanker, but Boeing protested. A Government Accountability Office report found that the process for awarding the contract was flawed. Wall Street Journal, The (7/15), New York Times, The (7/15)
