Most of us are familiar with how government contracts are awarded, usually to the least expensive bidder with commensurate experience or knowledge in their field. But this contract seems extremely fishy.
A company was founded in Georgia with the sole purpose of gaining a contract to transport private vehicles of military personnel, by a Korean businessman with ties to North Korea.

As reported, the company was formed in August 2012 with the sole purpose of pursuing this contract — which in itself is questionable. IAL submitted a bid two months later. That means IAL submitted a bid for a contract for which they could not have submitted any empirical data demonstrating the ability to meet the contract requirements.

Why would DoD award contract to company tied to North Korea?
