State biz opps oops

deckardcanineOne improvised requirement of my job (due to my flexible time as a copy editor) is to check a series of sites for State business opportunities, or biz opps. The vast majority of what I see requested is not in the ballpark of what my company does, but I've found a few funny things:
1. AUTOMATED CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT SYSTEM -- I realize there's no easy way to make it clearer, but I like the thought of a support enforcement system for automated children.
2. BURRITOS, FROZEN -- Why exactly do they need to place a State biz opp request, especially months in advance? It's also just a funny term to be finding amid all the others.
3. MOBILE COMMAND COMMUNICTATIONS CENTER -- Reminds me of that newspaper flub, "Literarcy Week Observed."
4. ROAD SALT -- They want it by June 3rd? If that's not overkill, then I'm all the merrier not to live in Minnesota.
5. RESURFACING TENNIS COURTS -- This is funny only because I saw it for the first time the day after a herd of escaped buffalos got corraled onto a tennis court. It was in an adjoining state, but still.
6. DUST COLLECTION SYSTEM INSTALLATION -- Just think: even if they never install it, it'll be doing its job!
Also, I received a group office email titled "PARIS proposal." It had to do with business, not Ms. Hilton or her new engagement.
