Wow seems like a pretty legit protest.

I hope the government can fix this fairly and quickly

I am more concerned with number 1

"The Air Force ...did not assess ...the proposals in accordance with the evaluation criteria identified in the solicitation,"

When I was a govie this was a big no-no. The government will use the evaluation criteria, the whole evaluation criteria, and nothing but the evaluation criteria.

As I said in the other thread, the USAF couldn't manage a large program to save its life.

F-22, F-35, and now this tanker fiasco. Defense companies just aren't held accountable, and truth be told probably run the show more than any of the services do.
