Was the testing not completed, or was it just delayed? My understanding the schedule moved out and it was delayed, and may have been completed by now. Did I misunderstand the status?Not exactly, not at all. The testing was never completed and Sig made a low ball offer(selling less than cost?) in the middle of testing that the Gov't couldn't refuse and now Sig is scrambling to make sure the weapon is minimally reliable.
Yes, small potatoes in the grand scheme of the bloated defense budget but it still matters..to us tax payers(at least to me and Chui)..
Not any kind of theory but what actually happened. Matter of record. What ISN'T is what $ changed hands during this 'competition'...
1. Protest that the solicitation required the agency to make at least two awards after the
initial evaluation phase is denied, where the solicitation did not require this outcome.
Instead, the agency reasonably determined that a single award was in the best interest
of the government, where proposals were technically proximate and the protester’s
proposed price was substantially higher than the awardee’s price.

Of course but unfortunately that price didn’t include the $ spent by Sig to fix the deficiencies discovered. So it all ended up costing Sig even more than low ballWell, given that same quote says the examples were technically approximate, certainly makes sense to look at price.

Given that neither I nor you know how much it cost to fix those problems, we don't know how that factors in to the overall cost versus the contract award.Of course but unfortunately that price didn’t include the $ spent by Sig to fix the deficiencies discovered.
