Anyway, a vacancy bid is much preferred over an excess.
On the bright side we retained the postal contract.

Sorry for going off on a tangent, but if you down bid and incur a two-year seat lock when does the two-year term end? LOE date? Activation date? I don't see anything in the contract that specifically states when the seat lock ends, but I'm sure someone will point out chapter and verse as well as reprimand me for not knowing the contract
