PNWC's Government Contracting Update

According to the documents, one of the primary reasons FEMA failed to deliver these meals is because it inexplicably awarded a contract worth approximately $156 million to deliver 30 million emergency meals to Tribute Contracting, LLC, a tiny, one-person company with a history of struggling with much smaller contracts.
