I have a hard time believing the government issued an RFP where all proponents were forced to purchase materials from one of the proponents, so I would need some evidence of that before I was sure it happened. If it did, though, there was nothing competitive about that bid process. I can see that happening in private industry, but I'd be shocked to see it in a government bid. I'd like to see more on this.
