In the federal buildings initiative, we concentrate our promotional activities on our client base; that is, the departments that can use the federal buildings initiative. We choose various venues to ensure that managers who have custodial responsibilities are aware of our services, because the FBI is, in effect, a service organization for other departments. We are marketing to our clients to say that we're here, we're available, and we have these services to help you put in place building retrofits, which we list.
We concentrate our marketing, per se, on the client departments, and we try to reach different levels of the decision-making chain—senior managers and more operational people. We also use the community of practice to get at the technical people so that they can understand where FBI might fit in their departments.
With respect to the private sector, we don't market per se. We treat them as our stakeholders in delivering the federal buildings initiative, because we couldn't deliver the program without the private sector. It's not marketing per se. We work with them to ensure that they are qualified to meet the requirements of working for the federal government, and we assess their financial, technical, and managerial capacity.
We have nine firms at this current point in time. Together they have a financial capacity of $700 million. We know that there is industry capacity to take up any demand the government might have, but we concentrate our marketing on federal government clients to try to draw more clients who we can serve through the program.
