Boeing unveils case against USAF decision to buy Airbus tankers

Quote:
The airframer's formal protest filed on 11 March argues the USAF's decision should be overturned mainly because of two reasons: a series of improper changes made to a key evaluation formula and a judging system that unfairly discounted the relevance of Boeing's past performance on commercial aircraft.

The first complaint alleges that the USAF inserted last-minute changes into a highly detailed formula used to evaluate mission performance for both teams, but failed to notify the two bidders.

Boeing believes this action put its bid at a disadvantage. A separate Northrop business unit helped the USAF develop the evaluation formula, which was likely to allow Northrop's tanker team to spot - and respond - to the changes much sooner, says Mark McGraw, Boeing's KC-767 programme manager.
