Federal government is absolutely addicted to consultants, this looks like a phenomenal waste of money. Surely there are suppliers with relevant expertise in this space???

I’ve seen global scale megacorps fail at other super-computer builds, so nothing written here is a surprise to those of us that know modern super-computers.
Hint: it’s not just the technology that’s super hard in these builds.
