Not to piss on everyones opinion but as you stated, you are not a fortress dealer. Even though you talked to them and will be getting the dealer paperwork, Fortress probably has the opinion that you are going to make one order and no more. I think this is where the entire problem is arising from.
The issue is not with Fortress offering a discount to the other dealer. The issue is that Fortress actually took "insider" confidential information from a potential new dealer and handed it off to an existing dealer so they could get a sale.
Absolutely nothing above board about that move. Super shady wallstreetesque behavior. Most likely the fault of that single Sales guy and not part of the companies standard operating procedure.

How the heck did Fortress know who this was for in the first place? Is everyone using the same spec sheet? I just helped wrap up a $50mil home and i can tell you that not 1 single vendor of ours knows where any of their product went.
