Also heard that they were going to put DRMS back under LOGCAP rather than issue a separate contract.

Military contractor Lockheed Martin tops POGO's list of "worst 100 contractors," with $34.2 billion in government business and a record of fifty instances of civil, criminal and administrative misconduct. ExxonMobil, General Electric, Boeing, Honeywell and others are close behind.

Looks like the USG withdrew the sole source to KGL and will now be competing the requirement. Not sure who the other competitors are, but competition is usually a good thing. As long as the taxpayer doesn't get screwed and the servicemen are taken care of properly, it's for the best. I wonder if Agility had a hand in this, but I suspect that all of the press in the past 6+ months forced this to occur. Anyone know who the legitimate competitors are for the DDKS recompete?
