The best proposal according to unelected bureaucrats, and we all know of course that they have no self interested motivations at all, right?

These unelected bureaucrats are still BY LAW supposed to select the best proposal based on objective and open criteria, even for contracts using earmarked funds. Because they are whispered over the telephone to choose company X over company Y by some Congressional staffer doesn't all of a sudden endow the process with more legitimacy and transparency, it makes it LESS legitimate and LESS transparent.
