The Federal Technologies Institute is a clearinghouse for delivering commercial technologies and related sevices to the Federal Government. Participants in the Program include Sponsors of the MyTechnologyLawyer Networking Program and select Federal Government Contractors from Scott's personal contacts list. The selected Federal Contractor sources the opportunity for the Sponsor, prepares the proposal (in consultation with the Sponsor) and negotiates the Federal Contract (also in consultation with the Sponsor). The relationship between the Contractor and the Sponsor includes delivery of Sponsor technologies and services to the target federal agency under a federal government contract. The sales lead times on these initiatives typically runs 12 - 24 months.
