There is absolutely no effort made to provide the best 'value'....similar to what the private sector has to do, and instead insane specs are added simply because there is no budget to meet, and as far as the people working there are concerned, they have unlimited amount of money to work with.

Despite our company insisting that the required specs were not necessary and would only be costly to the taxpayer with no benefit at all gained by the person being 'assisted'....the government still went ahead with it. Hell, we invited our brass to the shop and provided them examples of what we meant, and they still didn't go for it.
