Sounds like a case of it's all about the Benjamins to me.  As a DOE  
contractor, I know you can place stipulationd in your RFP disallowing  
this practice if you don't want it to take place. It's then up to the  
vendor to determine what portion of your work they want, and what  
portion they dont want

I'd strongly suggest discussing this practice with your Program  
Records Official to determine if it's acceptable based on what the  
records contain.  If there is any PII, PHI, financial, or IPim willing  
to bet they will suggest a new contract.

You bet they do!  And I can't find it right now, but I think this is  
the guidance the SEC gives and also whats included in HIPAA
