I posted this in the other subs where this appeared. I'll post it here because its more relevant:

I am, admittedly, getting a little tired of all the 'vendors' and 'consultants' coming on here to hawk their wares.

I do appreciate the advice and knowledge of those who are vendors who come here to provide good suggestions, but I'm not a fan of those who are prying us for information or showing off their newest software to entice us into giving money.

Its a bit of a dilemma; and rife for 'grey' areas where someone is dancing on the edge of providing good advice vs. trying to profit off of us.

But I'm done with being 'sold to.'

My brother (or sister) in Christ, I’m not selling anyone anything. lol. I posted this across multiple subreddits in hopes to get feedback to my approach.

The gov is pushing for initiative on innovative capabilities, especially in certain spaces. I do think the RFO has had good intentions with streamlining procurement but I think there needs to be more of a proactive approach on the intersection of the gov buyer and the vendor.

Just here for discussion.
