I wouldn't worry about that, the government does a lot of RFPs for work that is contingent on receiving grants, allocations, and the like.
What I would worry about is the whole "Freedom Fries" thing. You mean to tell me Congress has time to worry about the food in the cafeteria? That must mean every single terrorist on this Earth locked up, chained away, or buried, the economy is back on a track to fast growth and unemployment is dropping, and our trade deficit is reduced to the point where we are not paying out more than we take in for manufactured goods. Because there is no way these guys are more concerned about what is in the cafeteria than these real, important issues that affect us, our children, and the future of the country. Priorities, people, are what we seem to have lost sight of. We must ask what does this get us before we go around saying what is important.
