		<description>Is this the same process a company would go through to develop, say, SONAR systems for submarines?

bill perrys last blog post..&lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/WilliamRPerry/statuses/977733255&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;WilliamRPerry: @eggmarketing Thank you for that! :) I&#039;m glad you liked it. I&#039;m trying to decide what the 2nd CD should be. Any Suggestions?&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>There certainly is a relationship aspect to getting business with the government in addition to getting all your paperwork in place.  Make sure you are taking heed of the government&#039;s budget cycle and their particular process for bringing in contractors.  The more work you take off the contracting officer&#039;s load, the more luck you are going to have!

		<description>I&#039;ve tried many times to get government contracts for my small woman owned business and have not been successful.  My staff and I would write up 50 word documents that would take weeks to produce and we never even got a call back.  I suspect that you need to know someone you can&#039;t do these things blindly.... Food for thought.
