Inside one of the most intense, and unusual, Pentagon contracting wars
The much-anticipated contract was
awarded just before Christmas. BAE Systems trumpeted its victory in a press
release and got to work building the Army a new armored vehicle. Finally,
one of Pentagon’s most intense–and bizarre–contracting wars was over.Except
that now maybe it isn’t. In yet another audacious display of lobbying force,
General Dynamics, the giant defense contractor based in Falls Church,
Va., is continuing its fight to win at least a portion of the contract,
potentially worth more than $12 billion, to build nearly 3,000 Armored
Multi-Purpose Vehicles for the Army.
