Change orders aren't a unilateral process... What you're describing is a corrupt government. It's not the norm.

    I'm describing what I saw from many governments and comittees from when I used to review these specs for bidding.

    I would have to disagree its not the norm, governments are always corrupted in some way, but thats a much more divergent discussion.

    I can say with confidence that the overwhelming majority of specs are written to include or exclude specific bidders though. My work is and was global, too, so this isn't a US only issue.

    How much they do to control the bidders list will vary though.
