Is it fair that Halliburton was given a "No Bid" contract on rebuilding Dick Cheney?

Question

Halliburton was awarded an $85.5 million contract to rebuild damaged U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney Monday. "We are proud to serve the executive branch in their hour of need," CEO David J. Lesar wrote in a statement released later that day. "Due to our vast experience with oil-well fires and refinery mishaps, we are well-versed in the sort of reinforcement, rewiring, and exoskeleton refitting Mr. Cheney so desperately needs." The Department of Ways and Means defended awarding the contract to Halliburton on the grounds that they had done the original work on Cheney in the 1970s.

Answer 1

They probably got it due to the conditional warranty held on the original contract. Recalls were sent out last year when it was found that this particular model had a bug in it's aiming system, resulting in at least one undesirable hunting mishap. The problem was fixed immediately, but it was at that time that the workers noticed a need for more updating.

Answer 2

I don't really think this is all that funny...not because I'm a huge Dick Cheney fan, but because it reminds me of this weird government teacher I had in high school. If I didn't know better, I'd swear you were him. He thought he was really funny, too.

Answer 3

No, I've heard another company bided less, & Halliburton still
got the contract.

Answer 4

I hope they do a better job this time. They forgot to put in a heart and soul the last time.
