Pentagon (USA) 24/11/2010 - Tips 3B - According to the article published on Remy Maucourt usinenouvelle.com yesterday, EADS and Boeing have received by mistake the technical evaluation of the project from their competitor. The tender of the U.S. Army is 40 billion dollars for 179 aircraft refueling, a battle than a decade between the two main manufacturers worldwide. .
The Pentagon has made a huge mistake logistics. The letter of assessment technique for Boeing has been received by EADS, and vice versa. The two companies insist they have not read the contents of the message ... But as the temptation has been strong. "When this information arrives, you know that is not in accordance with the procedure under the circumstances, what you do is you pack up everything at once and as you return to that launched the tender. This is exactly what we did " , said Sean O'Keefe, the director of EADS North America. The Pentagon certifies that it will not alter the current procedure, the two candidates unable to modify their offer. But this could be a blunder on a call, the loser may request cancellation of the tender due to the defect.A solution to avoid the ridicule of a third cancellation: divide the order, 90 aircraft by manufacturer. Interested course reject this hypothesis, Argant logistical difficulties caused by the proliferation of models. Pierre Sparaco, aviation expert and columnist for the site AEROMORNING , has another view. "If an airline can fly different aircraft models, why the U.S. military could not do? 90 aircraft, it helps to organize. " The Express already stated in March, everyone was hoping for a share of the contract between the two candidates .. . The U.S. Army can not wait and cancellation of 2 bid would be too many consequences. But the question also arises about the new environmental standards. How these aircraft are they going to integrate particular level of consumption of fuel? The result will be known in early 2011. BB
