Government Contracts - A different kind of government income

Grants are not the only thing that the government has.  You can also try and get a government contract to work for them.  What this means is that the government becomes your client.

For instance, a foreign language business in Florida received a 5-year, $50 million dollar government contract to teach its soldiers a foreign language.

Some interesting things to note about the above contract is that the government doesn't want it talked about too much (security reasons I guess) and the foreign language business that bid on the contract wasn't the lowest bid submitted.
