I imagine the answer to that is, I've simply never heard of the US government buying from a software vendor with less than 500 employees.

Surely it never happens?

I know 1-man-band software companies that sell plenty of software to the US military.

I’m French and ahem, I’m selling to both US, Australian and Russian government entities. As in, .gov email addresses.

When I fill in forms, it’s often quite simple since we’re all French developers under regular employment contracts.

Ah. The more you know I guess.

I assumed they went in for platinum enterprise grade support contracts and the like, only.

Or else they got contractors to make them software that they owned.
