#1 Um DUH! The Military would much rather buy some Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) product than sink money into R&D for technology that already exists.

#2 My wife used to have her own business suppling the Navy ships at Alameda with civilian items not in the supply system. BJ Clinton put a stop to that and she had to close down. The Navy could only order through the supply channel.

Someone must have reinstated the outside purchase. Too late for wife, military all gone from SF Bay Area.
