For sure the vendors are garbage. But maybe the COTR should've rejected the work if it was unacceptable.

That would require the spec to have been written to allow that kind of rejection. I strongly suspect the spec was not written that well.
Exactly. VMS probably literally "meets the requirements".
HN dunked all over that agile vs. waterfall article from a few days ago, wondering whether or not waterfall wasn't just some boogeyman that a bunch of consultants had to invent to sell certificates, but I'm here to tell you waterfall is a thing and it's still alive and kicking in the Navy, even now.
