This happens a lot in government contracting…
- saynay 5y agoI see a lot of Franken-RFPs in government contracting. You get sections that are just word-for-word recreations of a products spec sheet, straight off their website. But different sections are from different, competing, products. So the end RFP is something that no one actually has, and then they are required to award the project to whoever made the lowest bid. 5 years later, when that project inevitably fails, they do it all over again.
