Contract of the day, from the Pentagon:
Zel Technologies Inc. (Zel Tech),* Hampton, Virginia, has been awarded a $165,272,923 ceiling, cost-plus-award-fee task order under the General Services Administration (GSA) One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services (OASIS) Small Business Pool 4 contract to provide the Joint Improvised-Threat Defeat Agency (JIDA) with expertise in research, experimental development, and rapid acquisition; development and fielding of counter-threat technologies; and delivering urgent mission solutions in support of operations throughout the globe.
The other key point:
Work will predominantly be performed in Virginia and the National Capital Region; however, contractor personnel will also be embedded as needed with globally deployed U.S. forces.
In other words, dangerous work. Wartime work.
Zel is run by a small group of Air Force veterans. Jim Grant, the CEO, a retired Air Force Brigadier General, has “been involved in national and multi-national military, intelligence and security operations for almost five decades,” apparently going back to the mid-1960s.
Take a look at their customers and key business partners. You get the picture.
