Which means the program will have zero value outside of federal purchasing offices. They will not evaluate the criteria or care about the reality of the offering, they'll see the sticker, and know it's "default approved."

Is this a good outcome?

A sticker cannot do this.

I can’t guarantee much but I can guarantee a non zero number of non federal purchasers will consider the sticker.

Correct. The sticker itself doesn’t mitigate the risk. The adherence to the requirements necessary to qualify for the sticker do.
