Overall, the inspector general concluded Navy officials had “inappropriately justified” the silencer contracts to Knight’s.

The awards, made between October 2002 and August 2003, “may not have been in the best interest of the government,” the report added.

SOCOM, which provided the funding for the silencers, was not directly faulted.
That's the short version, so why is KA at fault if the Gov rushed the order and didn't put out bids?
