Can you share any more about the proposal process? Where was the RFP posted? What were the evaluation criteria? I was kind of assuming that this was more of a handshake deal or a cold sell or something, surprised to hear it went through a structured bid of some kind.

I'll do my best, but I'll probably disappoint! A friend of mine who works in politics told someone in the IDP that I might be helpful because my company makes software for Democratic political campaigns. I had a conversation with the IDP staffer, learned more, and told them very quickly we wouldn't be able to help with this. They might have ran a more formal RFP beyond that, but I have no knowledge of it, because we did not advance beyond that conversation.
