As a follow-up to a post I made here last week, the Obama administration has now canceled a non-bid contract recently awarded to Checchi & Company Consulting for work in Afghanistan. The owner of the company, Vincent Checchi, was a contributor to the Democratic party and a supporter of Obama.
Obama was criticized for the awarded contract after pledging during his presidential campaign to “end the abuse of no-bid contracts once and for all”. Obama criticized the Bush administration for awarding such contracts to companies like Halliburton.
