The Government Accountability Office on Wednesday released a redacted copy of its 69-page decision sustaining Boeing Co.'s protest of the Air Force's decision to award a $35 billion contract for aerial refueling tankers to a team led by Northrop Grumman and EADS, the parent company of Boeing's European rival Airbus.
The 67-page public version of the report, which was scrubbed of proprietary information, follows the release last week of a summary of GAO's findings and its recommendation that the Air Force re-open competition for the contract.
The Air Force, which several lawmakers insist should solicit new bids for the tankers, has 60 days to review the findings and report back to GAO on how it intends to proceed.
