Sorry Ralvek but you're way off. Haliburton went through the "normal" bid process when they competed to get the "No-bid" contract that they won. Basically it's a contractual agreement to provide certain specific services to the government should the need arise over the course of a defined period of time.
The contracts in Iraq fell under this competitively won contract.
