Lockheed Martin, Boeing protest Army’s decision to give Textron FLRAA contract

Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin (LMT) company, filed a formal protest asking the U.S. Government Accountability Office, GAO, to review the U.S. Army’s decision on the Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft, FLRAA, contract. Boeing (BA) supports the protest filed by its Team DEFIANT partner, asking the GAO to review the Army’s decision. Based on a thorough review of the information and feedback provided by the Army, Lockheed Martin Sikorsky, on behalf of Team DEFIANT, is challenging the FLRAA decision, saying "The data and discussions lead us to believe the proposals were not consistently evaluated to deliver the best value in the interest of the Army, our soldiers and American taxpayers." Note that earlier this month, the U.S. Army’s selected Bell Textron (TXT) for the contract. Reference Link
