Multiven Consumer Advocacy Group Releases Dossier Highlighting Anti-Competitive Procurement Practices within US Government Agencies
Silicon Valley, California – April 7, 2010 – The Multiven Consumer Advocacy Group, a unit of Multiven – the global leader in premium multivendor Internet Protocol network maintenance services – today released a Dossier titled 'Anti-Competition Concerns in US Government Request For Proposals: Cisco SMARTnet'. This Dossier highlights anti-competitive procurement practices within US Government agencies that eliminate competition, stifle job creation, and reduce technological innovation. Most US government agencies persist in issuing Request For Proposals (RFP) for maintenance of Cisco networking equipment that specifically request for ' Cisco SMARTnet only' thus perpetuating a highly anticompetitive practice that is contrary to President Obama's order of March 4, 2009 to Federal Government executive agencies instructing them to desist from issuing non-competitive contracts.
