>From the late 60's through mid 80's my father, Warren Childers manufactured electronic equipment for the graphic arts industry at Graphic Arts Manufacturing in Houston, Texas. In the late 70's the U.S. Government asked him to bid on a contract for one hundred of his Densitometer products. My father told them that he was not interested in any contracts with the U.S. Government which required enormous amounts of paperwork and specifications, but they could buy the products over the counter at his distributors the same as any other person or business could do. The U.S. Government bought the 100 densitometers from the distributors and each year after that they would send him lists of spare parts with the instructions as to how to bag and label them. He pulled all of the requested parts from stock, stuck them in a single plastic bag and shipped them COD. I hope you will take the red tape and interference of U.S. Government into consideration before going into contracts with them.
