[Old School]

I remembered reading an article about the Air Force accepting bids from EADS which is located in France. I also read where the military can accept bids from foreign countries as long as the factories are located in the United States. I'm not sure EADS has factories in the States.

The U.S. Air Force sparked controversy with its February decision to award a $35 billion contract, one of the Pentagon’s largest, to French company European Aeronautic Defence & Space (commonly known as EADS) and American partner Northrop-Grumman (NOC). The move raised the issue of whether the military should be allowed to accept bids from foreign companies for defense contracts.
