…Boeing Goes Nuclear

kc-767.jpg

As pre­dicted…

CHICAGO, March 10, 2008 — The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] will file a for­mal protest on Tuesday ask­ing the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to review the deci­sion by the U.S. Air Force to award a con­tract to a team of Northrop Grumman and European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS) to replace aer­ial refu­el­ing tankers.

“Our team has taken a very close look at the tanker deci­sion and found seri­ous flaws in the process that we believe war­rant appeal,” said Jim McNerney, Boeing chair­man, pres­i­dent and chief exec­u­tive offi­cer. “This is an extra­or­di­nary step rarely taken by our com­pany, and one we take very seriously.”

Following a debrief­ing on the deci­sion by the Air Force on March 7, Boeing offi­cials spent three days review­ing the Air Force case for its tanker award. A rig­or­ous analy­sis of the Air Force eval­u­a­tion that resulted in the Northrop/​EADS con­tract led Boeing to the con­clu­sion that a protest was necessary.

“Based upon what we have seen, we con­tinue to believe we sub­mit­ted the most capa­ble, low­est risk, low­est Most Probable Life Cycle Cost air­plane as mea­sured against the Air Force’s Request for Proposal,” McNerney said. “We look for­ward to the GAO’s review of the decision.”

Boeing said it would pro­vide addi­tional details of its case in con­junc­tion with the protest fil­ing on Tuesday. 

And so it begins.
