I would expect to find a message such as yours in misc.jobs.contract,
but with the title you have used it would be widely ignored (I am not
trying to be harsh, just realistic).  Postings of that nature should
have a title such as:

	US-CA-cityname ACMS on DEC VAX

where "cityname" is the community in which the work is to be done.

There is some strange urge on the part of many agencies to make the
title of such postings be "Great Opportunity" or some such, which
will cause all to ignore it.  Lead with the location, and fill out
the title with the skills you need.  Getting people to read your
post (and that is a _very_ busy newsgroup) is the first step to
finding a candidate.
