Sure, why not? Everybody gets a protest! And let’s protest the protest, too!
I do not begrudge this move by BO. The process, and the decision, will either stand or fail. A second look will either confirm the factual basis of the decision, or not. Either way, we come out ahead.
Another sore loser. Get over it.
“These aren’t the rockets you are looking for. Move along!”
“It isn’t fair that the contract was awarded based on actual performance, cost and technical merit! It should have been awarded on basis of job welfare like it always was before!”
Very well said! In 2 out of 3 of the competitors lobbying to politicians and lawyers filing complaints are more important than engineering and actual performance.
The above reminds me of the Gas shortages in the ’70s, when the automakers were screaming “Buy what America Builds!” and the public’s answer was “Build What America Buys!”
