Maybe they haven't needed to yet. I don't buy my yearly state park pass until just before I need to use it. Maybe they are using the same principle. I think even Kay addressed this at one point saying they will get it when they need it. I may be wrong on that.
Are ANY of the channel partners on the "List"? I thought there was. I will look into that more.
The $SFOR no contract statements -- hearsay nonsense!!
AGAIN - $SFOR the company does NOT need one when their channel partners are working the GOV deals - ACS and Alvarez!
Mr. Kay has stated in the past the goal is buyout! Therefore no reason $SFOR to ink the large GOV contract deals!
However, let's just consider maybe mission change and $SFOR the company does decide to ink large GOV contract deals. It can be done in very short order with being a rider on another company's existing GOV contract vehicle.
Here's one example of a company that needs a GOV contract vehicle to sell their products to the GOV. They sign an agreement and ride another company's exiting GOV contract vehicle - which is a FED GOV SEWP contract with a 20B ceiling. This was done within "1 Day"!
$SFOR could approach i3 and do the same exact thing and in very short order! There's proof it can be done very quickly!
I don't think $SFOR will go that route and when they sell the OOB/MFA IP for Multi-Billions, will retire biz! ACS will have purchased the KE IP by then! Then once the highest bidder pays 10B minimum for the $SFOR OOB/MFA IP, SFT retires! We very well could see a lot more than 10B for the buyout too!
INTEL back in 2011 bought McAfee "A/V" company for 7.7B. Instead of 3rd party s/w programs INTEL was looking at HW embedment.
So willing to spend 7.7B for an A/V company that prevents only known viruses! $SFOR's IP PREVENTS and worth at least double!
INTEL HW embedment will include $SFOR IP!
And who is the brilliant awesome $SFOR team working with -- TPG/INTEL/McAfee baby!
