Well I hear the argument a lot, and rarely can anyone suport a comp, when its such a simple thing.

Of course its almost moot. The great travesty of government contracts is that the relevant government agency will typically tailor the contract to the abilities of the company they want to give it to. Then they will release it for bid, and miraculously the company they want has the best bid.
