The Pentagon today authorized Sierra Nevada Corp. and Embraer SA to resume work on a $427 million contract under protest, citing the need to equip the Afghan military.
Beechcraft Corp. on March 8 challenged the award with the Government Accountability Office, which arbitrates contract disputes. It was the second time the closely held company had lodged a protest over an award that has been delayed for more than a year.
