"A few months ago PInow.com posted a request for proposal for Post Sex Offender Testing for Orange County Probation before the bid went public. My partner Jo Ellen and I got right on it and were able to put togeather a good bid submission. We were just awarded this 3 year contract and to begin Oct 1, 2008. Just wanted to say thanks for the advance heads up - it really paid off.
