*** NOT ALL CONTRACTORS BELIEVE IN THIS APPROACH ****
There are way too many contracts out there to have to
act this way.
The agency brought the contract to you. Without them,
you would not have known about it. Even if they "screw
it up", you are no worse than not having known about
it in the first place.
I would never consider using this approach under any
circumstances.
