Halliburton did not win the bid. That's the problem. Halliburton got the nod to perform interim work prior to the bid, and the 2 month time frame for the bid has been stretched to over a year. It is simply a violation of the law by the gummint. Trust me, I've had to do the bidding process before. Even when buying a simple fire engine for a fire dept. we had to follow the strict government procurement rules, and they are the same for the Army as I found out when helping a company through federal debarment proceedings.

It's unseemly and inefficient government at best, fraud at worst. Very simple, do a Google search for "DFARS" if you want to know more about the defense federal acquisition regulations.
