Hello, are there any special requirements for U.S. Government (Military) projects, or does it default back to the rules of the State in which the Military Base is located?
Specifically, we are an equipment vendor and installer, who was a subcontractor to a contractor working at a military base in the State of Ohio. (Military Base ==> Contractor A (holds contract with military base) ==> Our Company
Contractor A is refusing to pay us the remaining balance of our Invoice. Contractor A has credit and cash flow issues, and we've found out that it is defaulting on other payments for other projects.

Thank you!!
