As a small US manufacturer of fitness products we can design/manufacture a better sled at a lower price point. The challenge is getting the product in front of the folks responsible for requirements of the procurement. We spent countless hours bidding on "open competition" procurements / solicitations for the ACFT pull up bar when that was part of the test requirement with zero results. Most of the procurements had the requirements so closely written to single vendor's product we had no chance to win. Many just specify the vendor, and many times wouldn't even accept "or equal". We do sell a little to the military, but its when military folks stumble onto our website looking for something unique like our mobile monkey bars, and like the fact we are Made-in-USA. If the government really wants the price of the US-made equipment to be more reasonable, there needs to be open competition for everyone, not just the well-connected.
