“In May, it gave the task to consulting company Deloitte, a huge federal contractor, with a $16 million no-bid contract to manage “covid-19 vaccine distribution and administration tracking.””
Deloitte got $16 million with no bidding, then another $28 million, again with no competition. States are backing away from the result in the middle of a vaccine rollout. Deloitte was already known for charging states hundreds of millions for unemployment sites that didn’t work. Failing on a government contract is apparently how you win the next one.
