For the amount of work many organizations expect you to put into RFPs, and then print 5 copies (in colour and bound if you want to win) and ship them at your own expense, only to find out that they had really pre-selected a vendor but their policies require them to at least pretend to open it up to outside vendors... I think the comparison might be a little unfair to 99designs.
