I want to get a detailed understanding of the market for government IT
contracts in the US. I need information on how a firm - a Canadian
one, would bid for these contracts.

I need the following topics covered:

1. Overview of the Government IT market

(I already now the size of federal IT budget) - I want more detailed figures
3. Breakdown of the government IT market ? Federal, State, Defense, etc
- also breakdown by type - i.e. application development, project
management, systems integration, etc
4. Restrictions on foreign firms bidding on US government IT contracts
? especially Canadian firm
5. Offset requirements ? especially with regards to Canadian firm
6. What is the bidding procedure?
7. Any other information on how a Canadian firm can bid on US
government IT contracts
