If they are already in the system, but don’t show up in the drop-down list when you add a contract, you can put them in the dropdown by clicking Edit, then Checking the box labeled FCC. For educational purposes, let’s enter the contractor Sunland Services. Here on the Main Page, we’ve searched for “sun”- since that’s a rather distinctive substring of Sunland Services.
