You’ve been through this before.
Yes. Last year. We spent 3 years of effort to win a proposal. The "win" resulted in an IDIQ style award where you have to bid each set of tasks and payments from the pool of money identified in the proposal. The catch is that the "pool" may be empty because of sequestration or failure to actually fund the pool. It's just an empty paper promise. We already had a problem with getting things funded before the southern border invasion got underway. Another round of sequestration is coming next year. Frankly, I'm getting tired of being jerked around by the uncertainty of funding. There is no lack work to be done, just uncertainty about whether there will be money to pay for it.
