Federal Contracting Activities and Contract Types
The Department of Defense plans to issue a $400,000
government contract to a company that specializes in drone navigation
technologies. As a result, a government auditor has been contacted to examine
the operational data VectorCal and one competitor (previously identified as
“your company”) in order to decide which company should win the government
contract.
