I don't think so imo, but they could perhaps do a commercial gesture.

Walmart Canada once wanted lower prices, our CEO said NO, and we lost the account. That's one of the reasons the share price is at this level.

NOW they are back and in much more stores. ;-)

Sometimes you have to say no, sometimes a gesture is good business.

That's up to the CEO. IMO Eric did the right thing with Walmart.

Absolutely not!! The bid solicitation process is only one aspect of the GSA policy. It's important to understand that only orders which exceed a certain dollar amount need to go through a bid process anyway. There are thousands of government facilities which now have the opportunity to order 1000+, clean 1, or kind laundry detergent. The are also military commisaries who can now stock product on the shelves. No doubt many of these inititives could take time to develope, but the opportunity is now available when it wasn't prior to the approval for WNBD.
