The federal government’s IT procurement rules violate nearly every globally accepted best practice, according to a new research paper.

    Yeah as someone who works in IT in the government I have to agree with that assessment.

    Idk about “more arrivecan-like debacles likely”, but we do basically everything in the dumbest possible way when it comes to IT procurement and project management.

    Though I would have said “more Phoenix-like debacles likely” since that was more about the project oversight being a shitshow and less about there being some kind of cronyism involved.

    Corruption in procurement is the classic and likely the main form of corruption.

    How many guys need to get paid when state wants to buy something basic…
