Only Five Percent Of Moran's Number Two Donor ProLogic's Federal Business Is Awarded With Full And Open Competition

ProLogic Is A Client Of PMA Group, Moran's Number One Donor.
Appropriations Defense Subcommittee Scandal
Jim Moran's number one donor according to OpenSecrets.org is the PMA Group defense lobbying firm. Jim Moran's number two donor is the West Virginia firm ProLogic, which has no offices in the 8th.

ProLogic is also a client of PMA Group, paying them $80,000 in 2005.

How does ProLogic win business? Is it awarded in free and open competition with others who do not hire PMA Group and do not donate to Jim Moran's campaign? Moran, after all, is on the House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee. Moran is thus in a position to influence non-competitive contracts. Could that be one motivation for ProLogic's donations to Moran? Could a desire for non-competitive contracts be one motivation for ProLogic's hiring of the PMA Group lobbying firm?

The following is from the FedSpending.org website:
