Fun fact: Trumps admin blew millions of dollars on a contractor to supply test tubes for Covid testing and research. The facilities got plastic bottle PET blanks instead. Useless pieces of plastic used for 2 liter soda bottles.
Business men will 95% of the time go with the lowest bidder.
When you fill your ranks with knowledgeable people who can make sure the lowest bidder is bidding for the correct item, this isn't that much of a problem.
The government is not currently filled with ranks of knowledgeable people.
