Gonna be some very surprised "lowest bidders" when they find out they have gotten into a contract that expects them to do what they say they will do for the price they claimed it could be done.

Have you seen how much cash Boeing has blown through with the KC-46? They signed a firm fixed price contract and to date has had to eat over $1.25 billion in cost overruns.

I've seen a piece that says Trump obviously doesn't know how much it costs to build a car or an airplane - it seems that Boeing doesn't know either....makes a farce of the bidding process in general.
