I believe that one of the significant deficiencies from the 9/11 Commission Report was the deficiency of shared intelligence information between, local, state and federal agencies related to homeland security.

The process was also competitive throughout in that the manufacturers were incentivized for quick delivery of the test vehicles and did not know that there was a possibility that multiple contracts would be awarded. It is unusual for the Pentagon to award a contract to different manufacturers to meet the same requirement, as this makes maintenance and repair more difficult than if there was only one model in use.
