Boeing to meet with Pentagon officials Saturday


Posted at 4:52 pm

Representatives of the Boeing Co. and Defense Department will meet again this Saturday to discuss the $35 billion Air Force tanker contract.

Boeing met with Pentagon officials earlier this week on the revised specifications to replace 179 aerial refueling tankers. Defense officials released the draft request for proposal for the contract last week and had been expected to publish the final requirements as early as Friday.

Boeing’s spokesman Dan Beck reiterated the company’s position from earlier in the week: “We hope to have a continuing dialogue” with Pentagon officials on the draft requirements. Supporters of Boeing had criticized the revised tanker specifications saying the Pentagon changed its requirements to meet its initial pick of Northrop’s larger KC-30 over Boeing’s KC-767.
