Believe me, I know this is an uphill battle but, without saying too much about future product plans, we have some improvements that we think are worthwhile and have not been offered before (to our knowledge; it's not the standard stuff).
So if I understand y'all correctly, this process has gone to a paper/electronic bid process only based on projections, numbers and cost and the winner gets the package. This being the case, how do they consider improvements? Or do they?
