    Amazing. They aren't even asking someone to invent or build it.
    "We have determined the product we need. We need exactly one of them. Please submit an application to be considered a potential source for us buying the specific item we have already decided we need."

    I guess they don't know how to use freaking Google.

    The military always do bid requests this way. They decide exactly what they want - in this case specifying the exact model number - and put it out for bids.

    These requests usually come out of the chaplain's office in the Pentagon. They do this with organs, pianos, band instruments, everything including toilet seats.
