What happened was the US Navy changed the meaning of the word "immediate" to mean "at least nine months from now... maybe even more." It seems that, all of a sudden, they've decided that they don't understand their own RFP (request for proposal) well enough to really know if the requirements they set forth are actually their requirements. Welcome to the world of politics and double-speak, where the meaning of the most basic words, such as "yes" and "no," become unclear.
