A “multimillion” defense contract is about the bottom of the barrel for small defense contracts. Like maybe one or two programs with a few dozen people working on them for a year or two.
- mschuster91 4y agoSure, the big thing with any government contracts is that you have a way better chance of getting "in" if you already have prior experience with government work. That's a large part of why it's usually the same cluster of three to six large companies winning an utter majority of public tenders - smaller but better (i.e. not optimized to milk government contracts for every cent) shops don't stand a chance against someone who has been in business with government for decades. The more contracts you have on your belt working directly or as a subcontractor, the better your chances.
