In this case there was no bid, which is supposed to be a rare government assessment when it can either only be done by one vendor due to technology, complication, or a deep history of success on the same project environment. I’m not sure what the federal limit is to trigger the bid process, but I know it’s lower than “millions” of dollars. Basically the finance office and corruption watchdogs are not doing their job here because they’ve been replaced by rubber stamps.

I think it’s like $15k lol, then up to $350k they can just get 3 bids in an informal process. Above that they are supposed to do the whole song and dance.
