Chuck,
IMHO, paying someone to write software, is really not an option.
Exception is if the party already has an existing software that uses your desired import.
As an example, a few months back I a calls asking me to write them a "simple program."
All it needed to do was import BRIS data, create all the necessary FPS calculations (considering par times), allow them to select pacelines, build models, etc., etc. etc.
That person offered me $500 for the job.
I told them that they did not understand the complexity of that which they were asking, whereupon he raised the bid to $1,500 but added 4 or 5 more things to the list.
The man was incredulous when I told him he was WAY off base, and he said, "Well, at least we're negotiating. Give a me a number."
When I said $50,000 he about fainted.
And even then, I would pass on the opportunity.

PS: Michael Pizzolla should have resource suggestions - perhaps even someone who has already written what you need.
