Calling out contractors publicly may be good for politics but not of you want a heathy supply chain. Especially something like this, which is an apparent AI written report that is summarized to nothing more than "these guys suck."

There are reasons why certain government agencies are supposed to be apolitical and insulated from this kind of behavior. Why would I contract with someone who could ruin my firm at whim?

That said, maybe this level of warning is warranted. I'm assuming this is atypical messaging from the OIG, which to my knowledge was infiltrated by DOGE.
