EADS North America isn't going to Bid...They had no plans to bid...Why should they? Boeing is going to win no matter what. This is just a show and a joke. The Pentagon desperately needs a second bid to claim the whole process was fair.
I do work in the Defense industry and my Company has interest in this contract.

I have not taken sides on this even though I live in WA. The entire process has been a fiasco with plenty of blame to go to all involved. The Air Force needs tankers and for EADS to step in now is unbelievable to me.

The Pentagon desperately needs a second bid to claim the whole process was fair. Not really. DoD can decide to sole source the contract if it deems that sole source if it deems that there are no competent competitors, or that the competitors may pose procurement risks, like being foreign source would.
