As far as contracts, strict compliance with terms is a way to weed out companies that cannot show attention to detail. If you cannot understand and apply page limits to a proposal, we shouldn't trust you with being able to do something harder like build a intelligence agency HQ.
No, "strict compliance" is a way to weed out companies that you don't want to do business with but don't want to have to defend yourself on the record by articulating the actual reason.
Thanks for giving us your 20 years of experience overseeing contracting for the Government. No wait, that would be me. Trust me, we have not selected companies that have long histories with the agency, but failed to follow the rules.
I really don't know if that is the reason here, and I agree that it shouldn't be the rule. I merely was giving an example where it is, based on rules of fairness in competition.
I am familiar with Maine and Collins, being able to read the same stories as you.
Interesting that you default to things being Republican and Democrat. Your party affiliation must mean way more to you than me.
