Boeing ULA Wrangle with Air Force Over Delta 4 Launch Contract Prices

摘要

Boeing and United Launch Alliance (ULA), a joint venture in which Boeing owns 50 percent, have filed a second com-plaint to a U.S. government contract-appeals body to get the U.S. Air Force to reprice three Delta 4 rocket launch contracts that expose the hazards of Air Force contracting practices, in-dustry officials said.The contracts also lay bare what industry offi-cials agreed is a hard-to-explain loophole that Boeing allowed the Air Force and which may turn out to be costly for the company.
