Whoops. The director of government relations at GCE, the company that runs the Federal Procurement database, called me, from home, tonight, and spent considerable time helping me find the contract I was looking for, which is above and beyond what I would have expected from anyplace. For whatever reason, I couldn't find it today after a few hours of trying on the Advanced Search tab (several readers have written they had the same problem, of the server timing out before the contract was found); and very helpful people at the Help Desk didn't see the contract either, perhaps our Internet connections were stretched, or some other electronic bug plagued us. In any case, thanks for all the help to the kind people at FPDS, and, contrary to my earlier post, the contract is there, unmolested.
