This still doesn’t fall within their rules. The bribe has to be paid after service for it to be legal.
So for example, if you’re a purchasing agent for the army and you have to buy new canvas tents. A manufacturer could tell you if you make the award, they will personally pay you $20 per tent purchased. But they supposedly can’t come with 20k in hand and say here you go! Now I get the award for 10,000 tents.
You’re correct, this is the even better kind of legal bribery: lobbying. “Donating” to a cause for favorable rulings later
