We bid on a few government projects, but agencies are so tight to one provider the provider writes the proposal, and it is HUGE. We look through some and it is obvious that the specs they picked is specific to one LARGE company. They are out of state, and send all the data processing to India, so none of it stays here. We do our own work and we live and pay taxes here.
In the end even when we bid some projects at just bare bones price, the huge company gets it because the folks in India work dirt cheap. The last mega project we know of, the delivery date was missed by many month, and the quality was poor. But dang it was cheap!
In the end, we are a tiny aerial photo company compared to the big boys. We can't spend weeks reading a RFP and still not get it because they want low price period.
