Do you think that online selling to the Federal Government benefits marketers?

This is a Critical Thinking Exercise for my Marketing Class. I’m having a hard time deciding if it’s good or bad. I would think it would be good because it would be more convenient. But then it asks "What might be some of the drawbacks to this type of selling?"

Answer ASAP I need to finish this tonight.

The federal government isn’t just going to go shopping on the internet. In order to become a vendor of them, you will have to get behind a line of thousands and then send them an RFP. (Request For Proposal)

And whatever your RFP is for is going to have to be so lowly priced because it will be so competitive that your profit margin will be pretty low.
