Larry,
Thanks for sharing this. If they skewed the facts on this "sole source" procurement, makes you wonder what other "sole source" justifications are out there. Althought it doesn't really surprise me. When I worked for government, an IT director I worked for purchased an imaging system off of a state contract bulletin. He didn't write any requirements, bought the same system as another agency that had very dissimilar functions, and then wondered why the system didn't meet our requirements. Go figure...

NO, THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL MESSAGE...
But, I think some of you may find this interesting. Not because of the "I told you so" factor related to the obvious information that things that were supposed to be done to comply with Federal requirements placed on the Office of the President weren't being done, and NO I'M NOT saying that one or the other Administrations wouldn't potentially do the same thing or have similar probems.

And here are the images of the redacted emails that were released.

I haven't, nor do I plan to look at all of them, but one in particular I found interesting was the message identified as "EOP0000156" which gives a rather weak justification for a sole source purchase of a specific application.
In part states it's the only application that meets certain requirements and cites a Gartner study (and even includes an image of a redacted graph from the report) in support of the sole source justification. Anyone who is familiar with this report and works in RIM knows this is a 'less than accurate' portrayal of the facts. And the estimate of cost for licenses, support and a pilot is pretty staggering as well!
