Lesley,

My guess is that commercial organizations are just completely unaware of the
regs that apply to educational institutions.  I always ask for a copy of the
prime contract/award and check it out for myself.  Miraculously, I've usually
get a copy of it or they actually append it to our subcontract.

Good luck,
