The NFDA guys were willing to do for free what Kenyon wanted to pay them to do. Except that they wouldn't be able to back-charge the feds if the NFDA worked for free.
The fact that they have all of these so-called 'bona fides' makes it even stranger that FEMA brought them on-scene without a contract.
Since you say it ISN'T cronyism, I challenge you to find another company (besides Halliburton) that the feds bring in for a project of this magnitude without first signing a contract.
Yep. And FEMA would have gotten exactly what they paid for: shoddy, disorganized, crappy service.

Since Kenyon had ALWAYS done this kind of work for FEMA in the past, there was no reason to assume they would not be brought in this time.
Now, for the second time, I challenge you to name another company that specializes in doing what Kenyon does. And a gaggle of small-time morticians does not count as a "company."
