There are absolutely vested interests that would want to stop any new players from entering and would try to stop that from happening. One benefit of existing processes is that there is usually at least some degree of visibility or accountability in the legacy procurement processes that would make their efforts visible. A non-department “department” like DOGE has no such transparency, as is obvious by the fact that there’s been no vetting of its current operations, not even the suggestion of congressional oversight, and no mention of the fact that it’s run by government suppliers with obvious conflicts of interest.
The plain conflict of interest of current suppliers is obvious.

"...at least some..." is a fine fig leaf for covering the naughty bits, yes. As Jonah Goldberg noted: "Complexity is a subsidy".
