Saw this over at ANet. Neat to see the various mods to the aircraft since it reamains unpainted.
Boeing's KC-45
versus this:
Airbus' KC-45
Looks like the bidding has re-opened.

There was a commentary in Flight International a week or two ago that stated that the USAF were going along with redoing the competition but were altering the specs upwards so that the Airbus KC-30 offering was the standard rather than exceeding the spec.
If true this would rule out the KC-767 and Boeing would have to offer the 777 and this would entail a lot more expense for them plus the time frame may make it unworkable.
