U.S. Air Force to regain control of tanker bidding

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Air Force is expected to resume control over a long-delayed aerial refueling airplane competition between Boeing Co and Northrop Grumman Corp, a Pentagon official said on Thursday.

« All intentions are to return the process to the Air Force, » said spokeswoman Cheryl Irwin.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates gave the Pentagon chief weapons buyer control over the program last summer after government auditors upheld a Boeing protest and faulted the Air Force’s handling of the tanker competition.

Two previous Air Force attempts to buy new tankers have failed. The first try, rooted in the post-September 11 collapse of the commercial airliner market, fell apart amid a procurement scandal that sent two Boeing executives, one of them a former Air Force arms buyer, to prison for ethics violations.

Northrop and its European partner, Airbus parent EADS, won a second competition in February 2008, but it was canceled after federal auditors upheld the Boeing challenge.

Gates has said he wants to launch a new, winner-take-all competition this summer and award a contract early next year.
