I am not sure how things work but every year the US Department of Agriculture, Farm Service Agency (FSA) has an IT fair, where they invite vendors into the building. Maybe the ISIS community could send a representative. I'm not sure how productive it would be though. Another option is to talk with the FSA Enterprise Architects or the Architecture Office and provide a presentation on how ISIS could be used to decrease development time, provide stabilized UI's, and to create quick proof of concepts.
For example, it took me about 8 months but I was able to get JIRA accepted into the FSA, and it is really taking off now. The FSA has a lot of dedicated software specialists that are itching to use techniques that could enhance their productivity and provide more stabilized products. It just takes some "work" to get a foothold.
