Can you comment on whether the proposal was part of the the SBIR / STTR program? Just curious as to the scope of companies that were participants in the proposal process.
As an aside - these instances of underfunded and underdeveloped services, specifically in the political sphere, are really painful reminders of the flip side to the idealistic technocratic future that I think a lot of folks around here assume to be an inevitability.

Caucuses are run by the parties, not the government; it went through whatever podunk procurement process the Iowa Democratic Party has, not anything federal or even governmental.
