‘55 sets of gear for Ft Leavenworth where the central military prison is located. Sounds like a reasonable acquisition to me.’
Especially when the sets are spread across more than 1 shift.
There were 2 other bids in January from Leavenworth that complimented this bid with similar quantities. One for riot helmets, the other for stab-proof vests and gloves. Those others bids had small business provisions also.
However, viewed through the tinfoil prism this is definitely a government conspiracy. They better pick 55 total bad@sses, even the Spartans used 300 at Thermopylae.
