"The reasons you have for doing what you're doing are probably the most important aspect of your work. It's not about the final product. In fact, too much emphasis on the outcome blinds you to what is really at the bottom of it all." — Gregori Bresaz
These GOV projects are open for all to bid on, there are often 30+ people/firms on the list of vendors, and in the end, the award goes to the lowest bid. There’s no correlation to talent in my opinion. Once you do get an award, you have bid so low, you can’t spend any time on it to be profitable! Not the best system for sure. I’ve stopped working for the GOV because of this.
