Sure. The big one is urgency. It's a lot quicker to get a sole-source (no bid) deal in place than it is to hold a competitive bidding process. In the case of a major war, timeliness is critical. The other major reason is that you want to make sure the outfit that you contract with is capable of doing the job. The middle of a war is no time to find out that your low bidder just wasn't up to the job.

Obamacare’s fix for an American health care system that the federal government long ago broke, is to give the federal government far more power over American health care; that its solution to escalating health costs is to mandate greater health benefits (and, hence, higher costs); and that its solution to the pricey overreliance on pre-paid health plans — offered by insurance companies in lieu of real insurance — is to have the government require Americans to buy those pre-paid health plans under penalty of law.
