	Well, I agree with Steve that this degree of specificity is so silly
that it becomes funny.  However, having been on the writing end of this
process, I know that it's often necessary because somebody will try to sell
you jalapeno broccoli cookies when what you wanted were sugar cookies.  When
you reject the broccoli cookies, the salesbeing will sue you claiming that
you didn't specify sugar rather than broccoli in your original request.  So
you wind up specifying yellow versus tan because the alternative is the
taxpayers wasting even more green in the long run.

... to the Government, be sure to read this:

<http://www.dscp.dla.mil/subs/subsbo/CID's/20295a.pdf>

to make sure what you're selling is *really* cookies.  If it's yellow
instead of tan, it's not a "sugar cookie", for example.
