Don't see where it says that there was not a bidding process involved. But I do see where it specifies that at least one contract includes "provisions for cost-plus, time and materials". It gives precious little information about the details of the contracts, the process the the companies went through to get the contracts, and the amount of the contracts. These could have been regionally preferred vendor contracts which are bid upon on a yearly basis. But even a preferred vendor contract doesn't necessarily preclude dishing out work to another competing vendor to get a better price. I've worked as a contractor for government projects before under similar contracts to which I mention. Bottom line is that it looks like you're assuming a heck of a lot her on very sketchy facts. You could just as likely be wrong as right based upon the facts in evidence.

I'm assuming nothing. I know I'm right, if you disagree show that I'm wrong.
you won't.
