time.

This proposed process sounds very very good. Less intimidating than
the current requirement for the SF97 to be completed by the end buyer
and processed through by GL. If you guys have already bought the item
from the Government, then you theoretically ought to be the ones that
fill that form. As you are the defacto reps, that process should be
faster.

There has been some unsettled mumbling about this being a potential
pit fall as well. How about specific representatives that are well
known acting as a guide for setting up the process?
As far as the web side and getting the data out there, I hope your
folks are on the ball on the Information Systems side of thing. In
some respects you could send a person with about $2500 worth of
Macintosh hardware (iBook, wireless card/base station and digital
camera) into a field and have them update the site from that locale
using wireless network gear in a quick and easy manner.
