]So the majority are bid on. The growth in single source contracts and their greater possibility for fraud has already been addressed by the DOD.
And unlike what the post I was replying to implied, contracts, even single source ones, are not just handed out willy-nilly: |
| Quote: |
Subpart 6.3�Other Than Full and Open Competition
6.300 Scope of subpart.
This subpart prescribes policies and procedures, and identifies the statutory authorities, for contracting without providing for full and open competition.
6.301 Policy.

You are aware that posting articles longer than 300 words is frowned upon by the moderators of this site? Post the link with a brief excerpt.
As for the subpart policy there are plenty of cases in which the rules are not followed or bent...which was part of what the link was pointing out.
The Pentagon claims that the level of competition has remained steady, yet over the past decade the number of sole-sources contracts has tripled and now amounts to about 40% of the value of all contracts. |

Actually you were the one that shifted the argument to corporations. I was responding to the poster who started out by talking about Kim Seung-youn, Jeong-Mong Koo and Lee Gun Hee.
People not corporations. And people who are in the top 1% in Korea.
When I pointed out that their counterparts in America seem to be getting off scot-free...that is when you suddenly shifted the argument to corporations. |
No. I started off with individuals, namely Randy Cunningham.
Regarding corporations, though, that's a good point because it goes back to your contention of apples and oranges. The Korean miscreants were robbing their companies, the government or their shareholders. American banks have been accused of taking on too much risk in an effort to earn out-sized profits and then getting a bail-out and of misleading some clients. Capitalism run amok but not exactly criminal behavior.
And scot-free? That's not true, as I've already pointed out. |
