What I meant to convey with my post is there’s nothing here. The fiscal year ends in Sep and the new fiscal year begins Oct 1. The author of this nonsense is taking advantage of delivery dates specified to occur by the end of this fiscal year to imply something dreadful is supposed to happen.
End of year money. Need to spend it all, right? Because if you don’t it’ll lead to reductions in next years budget. Classic example was DoD buying 100 years worth of mainframe punchcards in the mid 1970s.
