    Lowest qualified bidder. There is also a lot of play in the spec writing. If for example my employer has something our competition can’t offer they can push for the spec to include it. For example I came up with a standy-by power mode with one of our systems that saves utility costs. Pretty proud of it. Sometimes the sales guys can convince the government to require that in the scope.
