This wasn't a sole source contract. This was the result of an extended bidding process that had many bids and multiple rounds of eliminations. As far as I can tell this was a fairly transparent, competitive bidding process, where the selected vendor was the one offering one of the lowest bids. It's also a firm fixed price contract, so while there may be concern about a failure to deliver we know that there won't be significant cost for overruns
