While I applaud 18F's goals this whole scheme seems dangerously close to unlawful bid splitting to avoid procurement requirements. Even if it doesn't cross the line in this case abuse, whether purposely or not, seems extremely easy. If this takes off I expect it won't be long before we see an OIG from some agency weigh in.
