Wrong. They are three different disadvantaged small business categories eligible for bid restrictions, preferences and set-asides.
She claimed all three so as to get locked in on more work. If she was involved in the design she probably got the small business contracting specialist to include them in set asides in a corrupt bargin.
The VA will fight a Veteran to the death over a nickel.
If they fight enough Veterans for nickels, then they can steal dollars for themselves.
= = = = = = = = = = = =
The VA administers to vets, not for.
Of course I am generalizing and the one time I ‘needed’ them I was completely satisfied etc.
I am a ‘bad’ example though, I had a Hernia Op in 1959 while in the Navy and my next involvement in the Medical Community was 2007 for cataract surgery at a VA facility.
Other than prior my cataract surgery, my last ‘physical’ was my Navy discharge which went something like ...We can schedule this for..., That for OR if you sign this waiver we can have you out of here in 20 minutes. (or something like that).
Thank you for your service.
I did 28 years in the Army.
I’m glad that you had a good experience with the VA.
I haven’t had good experiences with them.
My Father did not have good experiences with them.
They have actually stolen from me.
They refused to tell my Dad that his leukemia had returned because he wouldn’t tell them about his finances. He had a great answer for them.
“There wasn’t anybody standing on the dock asking me how much money I made when they put my ass on that troopship and sent me to the Korean War. If I made too much, would they have sent me home?”
He died from that leukemia.
I despise the VA.
LOL. She got a bunch of business awards for having a guaranteed customer and no competition?
