Your solution is laudable in its goal, but is too limited to actually have the desired effect.

There are far more economies of scale at play in competitive markets between differently sized companies than just the cost of goods sold.

Things like real estate, labor, overhead, advertising, etc, all have economies of scale that allow larger companies to save money and deliver goods at lower prices. While supplier pricing is important, it is only one part of the equation.
