Not a problem! And, yes, federal contracts are incredibly confusing and full of terminology that most people outside of that line of business do not use. That said, one more resource that may be helpful is your local SBA (Small Business Administration) office. There's some information online:

However, some of the local reps can be good. If your business qualifies for 8(a) status, there's much more help that the government can provide that can also be helpful. There's information on the SBA's website as to what that means and how to register if you qualify.

That said, I'd start with a local chapter of the NCMA. That will help demystify much of the process. Then, I'd talk with the SBA to see if they can provide further assistance.
