Cut corners to not even google the guy? Get a business address, anything?
As bad as our government is I could expect them to pay 3 times retail and receive a bunch of outdated junk that barely worked. That's the type of mistake I expect from the government. This is a step or two above that.
No they didnt. They got boned because they operated like people act when using money that they didnt have to answer for.
This was moronic and is completely indefensible.
For the premium being paid, the supplier should have goods delivered the next day and then payment can be wired. If a supplier is unwilling to wait for payment from NY state, until after goods are delivered.....then RED effing flag.

Two years ago, Michael Lewis’ The Fifth Risk detailed the impact that Trump was having on the government’s ability to protect us from danger. Why didn’t we listen?

Are you an anarchist?...that's coolWithout perusing the info in the link your provided, I can tell you from experience that the only thing the government does with any success rate is:
1. Drop bombs on those that don't comply.
AND
2. Take my money via wealth confiscation, (read: Tax; see also, Theft).
All this (or that) to say, how much do we really want (or need) the Government to protect?

Crazy stuff happening with this latest version of a corona virus.
The big question is: Why is this Trump's fault and was it used to hack Jeff Bezo's phone?
I kid, I kid.
Your thoughts on the Chinese containment approach and would it fly in the good ole USA?
Coronavirus outbreak: Latest news and live updates - CNN
I think you just answered your own question.It wreaks of systemic incompetence and negligence.
I mean did the supposed supplier send over spec sheets on these things for medical experts to review and approve before purchase? I doubt the procurement folks know a damn thing about ventilators. Or did he just send a damn word document quote that said "Really Good Ventilators $50,000 each"
This virus sucks but it is easy to see NYC and NYS are your typical big govt cluster****s and have undoubtedly helped to worsen their situation.
