As a data point, I know 2 friends who attempted contracts with the Federal Governement. Both went out of business. The problem is that the process moves soooo slooowly that you run out of money before you can close the contract. This was for hardware/software for military or 3 letter agencies. I also had a little personal experience with the state level. It came as a surprise to me that they could kinda care less if you saved them money. Save them $100K? It just gets subtracted from their next years budget.
