This seems interesting, but I am having a hard time parsing all of the government contractor-specific terminology in order to understand what the actual opportunity is here.
Can someone explain this in layman's terms? Let's say I am a regular programmer / consultant, and I can even hire / manage / scale teams of programmers.
I would be happy to submit a working prototype as part of an RFQ process, in exchange for landing a lucrative and stable government contract.
What exactly is being offered here for someone like me?
- Kaizyn 11y agoYou can get a government contract. Normally this would not be available to you even if you could handle the work because of how contracting for the government works. What I will find interesting is if they solve the contract vehicle/payments problem. That is, the U.S. government isn't great about prompt payment. For a large contractor, they can afford to wait 3-6 months between payments. However for the small vendors being targeted with this, that kind of pay delay may kill their business.
