Now you ignored my point. Air Force selects Jet co. A because its proposal for a jet with new technology allowing it to do X is better than Jet co. B's proposal for a Jet to do Y. that was competitive. Air Force picked X over Y. Co A owns X. You can't bid it out.

I didn't ignore your point. I didn't fully grasp it. Non-competitive bidding in such cases makes sense. However, there are numerous contracts where your point on proprietary technological superiority doesn't apply. In such cases, there really isn't any reason for not using competitive bidding.
Much like democracy, it's a lousy system, except for all the others.
