The Air Force said yesterday it will re-compete Phase 2 of the Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) program after sustaining a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report that raised questions about a former acquisition official's altering of the program's requirements.

The Air Force, however, anticipates no delay in the program. The contract award is still planned for fiscal year 2006, according to the Air Force.

"The current acquisition strategy allows sufficient time to compete and in light of the GAO findings, the Air Force plans to award a competitively based contract(s) in early FY '06," the service.

A statement from Boeing [BA], the prime contractor for the program, said the company's work on SDB is on track.
