ST. LOUIS, June 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Boeing (NYSE: BA) today
responded to the public release of the full redacted Government
Accountability Office (GAO) report sustaining the company’s protest of the
U.S. Air Force’s award of a $35 billion contract to Northrop Grumman/EADS
to supply the service with its next-generation aerial refueling aircraft.
Boeing released the following statement on the 67-page report from Mark
McGraw, vice president, Tanker Programs:
“Our initial review of the full redacted GAO sustainment further
validates Boeing’s decision to protest this contract award. It is clear the
award was the result of a flawed process. It also confirms the strength of
our KC-767 offering to the Air Force, as the GAO reports that Boeing had a
‘substantial chance of being selected for award’ were it not for the
numerous process flaws.”
