It’s almost as if they *know* something is going to happen...isn’t it?
why just for bank employees?
And we see here again, someone knows...
Knowing .Gov bidding and procurement like I did, a contractor already got the nod before the bidding was announced - the announcment is simply to comply with “fair business practices”.
Which means, they already had a timetable that they had to have the equipment sets by, and someone said they could make good.
Someone somewhere knows what and when...
These are for replacement kits that have been in n place for the past ten years. There is no conspiracy. There is no plan. This is pretty normal.
You don’t have emergency kits in your offices? If the company doesn’t provide one, you should make your own. After being stuck for a couple of days in a blizzard you would want one.
I could go to the Dollar Store and make 3,814 “emergency first aid kits” for about $5 each. Which is probably what some minority run enterprise is doing, and pocketing $180,000 US dollars in profit on this govt contract

The kits are used because the employees are on travel status while conducting business on bank property, not at their home office. Not that I think taxpayer money should be spent on them, but that's what they are for.
