No, what “preferred” meant was that the client was allowed.... To have anything competitive, you had to have at least three bidders. The system that was used at CAC is that we had a skills registration system where people would register on the site, and people would come to see us and say, how do I get more bids, how do I get more RFPs? Everybody who came into my office got the same dog-and-pony show. All I said is, you fill in a sheet, put in as many key words as possible, and that's how you'll get more RFPs.
