Will not start over.
From today’s OSD press conference:
“It is important to remember that this decision does not represent a return to the first step of a process that has already gone on far too long. On the contrary, given the amount of work that has been done, we believe that we can complete all of this and award a contract by December.
In short, all GAO findings will be addressed. The source selection authority will be changed. New personnel will be assigned to the advisory committee. And we expect to complete the revised process by year’s end. “
Okay, so the Pentagon will only be asking the bidders to modify their proposals to address the GAO concerns re the several items that were changed, supposedly unbeknown to Boeing during the last process, is that your understanding?
