That in itself is systemically concerning.
If you hire a guy to renovate your bathroom and they leave a broken mess, shame on the guy. But if you then hire the same guy again for your kitchen renovation shame on you for not being smarter.
Now i understand that everything is much much more complicated with government contracts, but saying that you are not allowed to do the sane thing by law is not a good excuse when it is your job to make the right laws too.

They can fail, commit fraud, or worse EVERY time without consequences. I'd love to hear the history or how such a law became to be.
