Yofie - government buying

I work across the hall from a company which is built on governmental computer reselling. They take care off all the issues based on requirements so that the different government agencies don't have to do it themselves.

I don't know all the agencies they work for, but in passing when talking to them, I've heard (in general terms) both military and domestic agencies mentioned.

I'm not sure how you get to:

"and most of the computers they purchase are normal consumer machines which will be purchased with Windows and Office already installed, so the Army will be paying twice for each machine."

so I can't comment on that, but I thought I'd shed a little light on the background.
