    Sour grapes

    AWS, Citrix and Nutanix are just jealous like most of the contractors who loose out on a federal bid and throw a tantrum like kids. What they all forget because all three are still kind of new to the bidding process is that they just may find them selves on the black list.

    E-procurement is officially dead then?

    I have done lots of work with companies spending huge amounts of time and money to move to e-procurement systems so that everyone who wants to buy a pencil automatically buys them all together and at a cheaper cost. These systems manage multiple vendors and generally smooth procurement and save money.......

    That was the sales brief, but i guess an easier way is to just give the big contract to Pencil World and never worry about it again.
