I am sure that the location of Boeing HQ (Chicago) had nothing to do with it.

No, it really didn't. After two attempts and two failures, the Air Force made this latest competition a "pass-fail" for 372 required items, then lowest price.
There was no room for Chicago Style bidding.

Please tell me why that would matter, as the source selection authority was the Air Force and made up a team of dozens of Air Force officers, from Majors to Lt Colonels (mostly), to senior officers.
Majors in the Pentagon are referred to as “Iron Majors,” meaning they know their stuff and stand up to senior officers all the time.
Or are you inferring these officers are dishonorable men?
