I learned about this way back in 1994. Navy Hospital Corpsman assigned to order shite for our hospital. Zero training at that point on supply orders and acquisition. I was given a very quick and basic instruction on how to find the suppliers of the products and what paperwork to fill out. A couple of days later I was called over to supply and told I'd have to re-do everything. That's when I learned that I couldn't order based on price. If the same item cost twice as much, but the company was woman or minority owned, I had to order from them first. We've been wasting a lot of taxpayer money for a very long time.

So now contracts will go mainly to the big boys entirely like RTX, Northrop, Boeing, etc.

The "big boys" are doing the work anyway on these pass-through BS contracts. Hopefully the contracts will go to competent people regardless of what color their skin is or what's between their legs.

I've heard stories of these type of companies in Huntsville taking advantage of it through the years. Some of these companies are run by men yet their wives own the business. wink wink.
There is even one company owned by the Alaskan Eskimos.

This one touches us all.
I don't have endless daycare facades near me.
I don't have endless transportation facades in this city.
I don't have endless adult care facades infecting this area.
I have known several individuals who have had shell companies, as black, Indian women (even when they are not), get government BA contracts, only to have others do the work.
Nice work Secretary Hegseth.... does this mean you aren't stepping down... LoL

I doubt this saves any money. Just rigs the bid in favor of the bigger contractors. Hegseth isn't looking out for the "little guy" in this instance.

It sounds like you're OK with the current practices? Different strokes, I guess.

I don't care why he's doing it and I don't care who does it or gets credit. It's just social engineering/welfare by a different name and getting rid of it is a smarter use of tax dollars.
