I understand that a great deal of money and effort goes into making a competitive bid. I also understand that the costs oflosing acontract are high. But that's the cost of doing business. It's far from a perfect system,but competitive bids (assuming they aren't rigged) at least keep people a little more honest.

Now you ignored my point. Air Force selects Jet co. A because its proposal for a jet with new technology allowing it to do X is better than Jet co. B's proposal for a Jet to do Y. that was competitive. Air Force picked X over Y. Co A owns X. You can't bid it out.
