It may be that the bids for uniforms were not specific enough and then the company has to eat the merchandise. As a purchasing agent for the government, you would not believe how the bid request has to spell out the requirements. If I were to write the contract, I would spell out the EXACT color, thread count, Seam make-up and a general gaurantee of service life. I have iniforms from both and I think there is a big difference in them. So I do not know where the breakdown is but I believe it is in the contracting end.
