Want to win a contract to operate concessions on federal property? Be ready to explain how your business promotes Obama administration desires like “climate friendly strategies” and the first lady’s “Let’s Move!” anti-childhood obesity effort.
Can we get confirmation from something a bit more reliable than the Daily Caller?
As for what is being asserted, the federal government has a right to decide how federal money is spent. It can therefore put rules in the bid documents that require the successful contractor to adhere to certain rules, like non-discrimination; equal pay; etc. Defense contracts are full of rules that contractors must comply or be deemed non-responsive.
I don't see anything wrong with the concept. I also see nothing wrong with requiring bidders to make available healthy food at beach snack stands or to be environmentally sensitive. The OP is trying to make something routine seem sinister.

How adorable, you prove my point! Politics is the same as it has always been, don't pretend like there was some golden era of clean politics in America. It is just how its done, no party change will change the odious corruption.

Oh really? So following the pet project of the FLOTUS has always been a criteria for winning federal bids?

So, placing requirements in a government contract for a government owned concession stand that requires foods should be less fattening for children is a bad thing and an abuse of power?
Get a grip.
You do realize that if the bidders don't like it they have no duty to bid on the contract.
