I worked for or provided equipment to a few contractors on military
installations.  I worked directly for the US Army on base, and for the
DOJ both through GSA and directly for some agencies.  None of them ever
asked me to sign an NDA.  One job I did was in a secure building.
Others were in never open to the public areas of ports and misc other
stuff.  Now I admit every job I got was because somebody I knew
personally asked me to bid it, but I never once had a government agency
or a government contractor ask me for an NDA.  I even got paid to write
the bid spec for a bunch of systems in a new prison. No NDA.  I quit
doing government contracting about ten years ago. I'd have to look to be
sure.

Anyway, its interesting how experiences differ.
