Another Protest!? Lockheed Protests BAMS Award

So Lockheed is protesting the BAMSaward now. Northrop is now hit with two protests the KCX and BAMS now. So pretty much Boeing and Lockheed are thumbing their noses at the acquisition folks from the Navy and the Air Force.

Link below to the lockheed protest
BAMS Protest

I am real curious to see how this will affect future contracts for all the major players. I feel if a precedent is set by overturning decisions we will be undermining the acquisition process and most importantly undermining the men and woman in service defending the USA. And as always the tax payer will be getting the shaft!

What next protest elections????....oh wait already been done LOL

Now we have 'Boohooing', and 'Boohooeed', along with Airbust.



Northrop.

could it just be the armed forces arent being held hostage
and told what to buy...

instead getting whats best for them NOW

It is to bad that Lockheed and Boeing will try and steal contract from Northrop Grumman who win them fair and square, of course it you send in a second rate bidding you will come out with second rate results..


Since Lockheed and Boeing can win the right way they will try to cheat the contracts away from Northrop Grumman. and of course Boeing knows all about cheating, they cheated on the first tanker deal right Mike S and Darlene D, and they cheated on the launch contract, and then there good ol Harry S, now Harry knew how to cheat, he cheated with the 2 legged kind, and of course congress will let these 2 loser companies steal those
contract away that Northrop Grumman won fair and square through the Bid and award process....

whats best for them now? foreign arms suppliers and projects which have gone the way of the Comanche, Abrams, and the littoral combat ship?

the GAO know of a few air force generals. I'm sure there are a few admirals and plenty more congressman from where Cunningham came from.

There is an increasingly good chance that both aircraft might end up in limited production for the AF it seems.
