this is typical of military procurement. the people who write the requirements can fashion the rules so that only one favored company fits the bill. its time for the military to begin off the shelf purchases. a hammer should not have a 12 page description, and cost hundreds of dollars instead of 10 dollars. cars and trucks for non combat units should be purchased off the local lot rather than be redesigned to fit only one supplier. if lobbyist were eliminated, this could happen
. it appears that there is a lot of behind the scenes money in this procurement procedure. thats the only reason a 7 dollar electric switch ends up costing 845 dollars. this is just my opinion.
trump has his work cut out for him.  good luck with that.
