IDA status as a federal agency

Is IDA really a federal agency? They do work for federal agencies but are a non-profit corporation. Should they really be on this list? 12.160.54.66 (talk) 13:02, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't consider them any kind of federal agency since they are not a part of the federal government and does not have the same oversights that other government agencies possess. They are, according to their web site, "a non-profit corporation" https://www.ida.org/aboutus.php which does not afford them status as a government agency. I'll remove them from the list.
