Boeing Protests Northrop's Long Range Strike Bomber Contract

Boeing and Lockheed Martin called the selection process for the LRS-B "fundamentally flawed" in a joint statement. Specifically, they take issue with the cost evaluation performed by the government, saying it did not properly reward the team's proposals to break the upward-spiraling historical cost curves of defense acquisitions, and did not properly evaluate the relative or comparative risk of Northrop Grumman's ability to perform, as required by the solicitation.
