DownSouth - Re: " Being a old time marketer to the DoD, I can assure that you are being conservative. In fact, I have never seen the Army CANCEL any order for IT equipment. It just isn't done."

Thank you for confirming the BALONEY that GV Tucker tried to pawn off on this thread.

DoD Don't Cancel --

Procurement is such a drag that once you a producement order through you dare not change it, whether its sole source or competitive. Ordinarily, there are standards pre-approved models for standard stuff like PC's -- and all the government gets one low, low price. To try to change a bid price brings a lawsuit, and you never get your stuff. Sounds like military folklore to me.
