We have a multi-part initial project that we need to get started as soon as possible. There will also be opportunities for future projects if desired.

Be sure to clearly list your competencies. Please feel free to post any questions as well. Individuals or companies that appear to have the appropriate experience and expertise will be given further details if necessary. Selected bidders should expect to sign a standard non disclosure agreement as well as other standard agreements, though we would be open to someone who wanted to develop our project as modules for future resale.
