[rehab] Seeking RFPs on eye wear purchase

[David Andrews]

Further, it is common among rehab agencies to ask one another for 
assistance with things like writing RFP's.  We exchange documents, 
language, expertise etc.  In the past week I have gotten RFP's 
dealing with a complex computer software project, from two states, 
thanks to a query my boss put out to other rehab agencies.
