I've been hearing lately that "buy what you can, build what you must" is the approach to procurement for orgs like NASA and SDA. If it is the case, one would hope this means more folks like ROCKY can get over that initial hump and grow within those orgs. Would be interesting to hear if that mirrored your experience or not.

I'm not so convinced based on my experience. Seems like that could be the ideal, but in practice for such a large institution it seems difficult to implement. Sharing the word that this team over here is using XYZ and seeing good results to that team over there is challenging.
