The Pentagon will reopen a $35 billion aerial tanker bid process to build the Air Force's fleet after the process that picked Northrop Grumman and EADS (European Aeronautic, Defence and Space Co, NV) over Boeing was determined to be flawed. Boeing protested that the Air Force modified their requirement after the bid publication and shared info only with one bidder to improve that bidder's bid. Two top USAF officer's have already taken forced retirement as a result.

The General Accounting Office in June stated Boeing might have won had the USAF not made mistakes in evaluating the bids. The Pentagon will now oversee the reopened bidding, not the USAF.
