		<description>I have managed government contracts for our company for 24 years.  In addition, I teach a seminar called &quot;Writing Proposals that Win Contracts.&quot;  I wholeheartedly agree with the last points Mr. Talcove made.  Government contracting is already faster, more agile, and simpler than it was even 5 years ago and will continue to be so.  I also agree that government contracting is going to become more competitive.  Again, it already is more competitive than I remember it ever being just a few years ago.  One point that I would like to add is that government contracting will catch up to the commercial sector in embracing the new Web-based communication tools, such as social media. Currently, government systems lag the commercial sector with these, but in order to increase speed and efficiency, they will catch up soon.</description>
