Sounds a bit fishy, you would think you would get the best bang by cutting out any middlemen by going to the manufacturer directly. </div></div>
Simple explanation...
It is a lot quicker and easier to use the "Simplified Acquisition System" which for all intents and purposes requires you to use small business and preferred categories. (Women owned, Veteran Owned, etc.)
Check out the Small Business Administration's web site for more info.
http://www.sba.gov/ The reason for this is simple...
Spending tax payer dollars on the broadest amount of tax payers is good for the economy.
(This is not a new program by the way.)
It is often more expensive than a direct purchasing contract, but that is the law...

It's all about NIB, NISH, excess property, and when they don't have it JWOD... Only then can you go outside.
There is a reason companies like Viking tactics are 99% women owned.
BTW, the mil pricing is very much in alignment with the manufacturers mentioned above. If and when that pricing will become available to the general public; well, we'll see.
