One other thing you need to understand. When the contract review group looks at contracts we are not negotiating price, nor do we have any input regarding pricing (received or paid), we are looking at the terms and conditions and form of contract.

Perhaps that should be changed so OPA's negotiator could have input from the review team during the course of negotiations. Sounds like what the review group is doing is essentially the equivalent of getting a second opinion on contract language prepared by an attorney.
