[i]Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings Inc.'s bid for United Launch Alliance LLC, the joint venture, faces a situation in which Lockheed Martin's executive suite seems more eager to negotiate a sale as part of a broader, companywide portfolio restructuring, these people said. On the other hand, Boeing's leadership is more inclined to hang on to its stake, the people said. ...for Boeing, the decision is further complicated by the prospect of picking up some new business to manufacture hardware for United Launch's proposed Vulcan family of boosters. The joint venture has broached the possibility of such orders with Boeing space officials to try to fend off the bid, according to one industry veteran familiar with the details. In an email Thursday, Boeing said it remains "committed to [United Launch] and its business," which it described as "the most reliable and effective way to ensure access to space for a wide range of government customers." Boeing also said it considers the venture among the "important and strategic elements in our portfolio."[/i]
