Editorial interpretation

A skeptical judge reacts to a mission partner offering one contractor quote as the requirement package. A member discusses perceived supplier influence on requirements and adds a brand-name requirements meme. These are preserved as participants’ statements, not independently verified allegations. SOURCE DISCUSSION — transcribed original comments 2021-06-21 — Timothy Wilhelm: That is absolutely a real thing. Especially in the systems would where you have A&AS contractors working side by side with the Government. Somehow their own supplies and services are ending up in the requirements. 2021-06-21 — Timothy Wilhelm: [Image-only comment; see the associated discussion image above.] Coverage: 2 displayed and 2 visible comments retained; the image-only comment is preserved as a linked attachment.
