I know that we have security clearance issues and we have to present someone to the prime contractor that they will find acceptable. Locations can be an issue. Maybe there are plenty of Ada people available in, say Maryland, but not necessarily that many in Idaho. If you're filling slots in Idaho, it can be tough. Geography, problem domain, levels of experience required, etc. can all add up to making placement difficult.
