I won't disagree with your characterization, because, fundamentally, that's also how we saw this issue. To be fair, if the price support clause works effectively, it does allow low bidders to ultimately be accepted. What it requires them to do is to provide invoices on previous contracts to other clients, demonstrating that they've been able to fulfill the work at that lower price point. That price would then be accepted, but I would agree with your characterization that it's still risky.
