Why? I can see working with the FBI or the local police force. Why do they need their own ordnance? Under 18" brings these into quite the special catagory... Posted by DaveH at February 3, 2010 10:28 PM | TrackBack

I used to work with the EPA. They have their OWN purchasing group, bidding, and systems for acquisitions. They refused to use the GSA, which was created to make government purchases cheaper. Maybe the IRS has its own acquisition rules?
