It may be - but for government work, that's the way it is. It should be simpler, but there's a whole lot of vested interest in making these things difficult and obscure to get into, which is something the Sunlight guys ran head-first into.

You probably won't do it either by submitting an inexperienced RFP. But of the two, repeated attempts at the latter probably have a better chance.
