The application process has been going on for months now. I think I first saw something about it late spring or early summer. I'm fairly certain the status was the same *errors* mid summer. I have no idea about a deadline nor do I understand the delay in certification.
A DoD contract would indeed be a huge boost but hard to imagine that happening anytime soon given the current status of the application process.
As far as our partnership with SSP....I would not make any assumptions along the lines of what is good for them is good for us.
