It is...right up to the point that you have a chance to see/conduct a source-selection, and see some of the awesomeness the military passes up in lieu of a steaming bucket of yuck because some aspect of the procurement was poorly pencil-whipped. If the wrong empire-builder/quota-baby is in the wrong spot, stuff like SERPA procurement happens.
Just as a for-example, look at something as simple as the Army's issue fleece beanie vs. the Corps' fleece beanie.
The former is grossly oversized, floppy, badly stitched, might as well be made of macreme for all the wind it keeps out,....and GREY; bad procurement. People or persons at PEO Soldier whose billet description included "giving no f**ks."
The latter is made to properly fit under a helmet without getting wadded up and creating hotspots, is well-made, decent at blocking wind when worn as a stand-alone....and NOT FREAKIN GREY; good procurement. PM ICE has (or had at the time) a lot of former trigger-pullers working for them.
To wit: A lot of what the military buys both is and is not crap. It's possible for both conditions to exist at the same time, strictly on the basis of how different people being in charge of similar efforts can dramaticaly alter the comparative results.
