“They were looking for a large account reseller to service their enterprise agreements. We’ve been working with a number of Federal government agencies for the last two years, and we’ve put in place a number of agreements on an agency-by-agency basis.”

“Those options will still be available if the contract does get extended,” he said. “The government is being very careful with where and how much it spends.
