I can't respond on whether or not it was tailored toward a specific provider. What I can say is that, based on hypothetical numbers and the quantities that were being requested by specific regions, it was not realistic based on how many embassies are in those specific regions. When a contract gets awarded for a specific dollar value, when you have a lot of hypothetical quantities of equipment, it is very difficult to say what that final contract will be. When people say it's awarded at specific million-dollar amounts, it's not realistic. Therefore, you start getting budgets that get blown out of proportion, and costs start to creep up.
