Rumors are swirling that Boeing may not bid on the new contract for the KC-45. See an article here. Supposedly Boeing is piqued that the new requirements supposedly favor Northrop Grumman and EADS and will not submit a bid. If there is only one bid it may require the whole process to start over again, of course if DoD and the Air Force change the requirements EADS could claim the same thing and the whole program will get stuck. Unfortunately DoD and the Air Force have to do the new process as GAO upheld the Boeing protest. More to come on this very complicated story.
