Item 8.01 Other Events
On October 3, 2011, VSE publicly announced the award of a one-year $277 million cost-plus-award fee, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract by the U.S. Naval Sea Systems Command for continuous lifecycle support of naval vessels bought, sold, or otherwise transferred to Foreign Military Sales customers. The potential cumulative maximum value over a five-year period if all options are exercised is approximately $1.5 billion. On October 12, 2011 Booz Allen Hamilton, Inc. filed a protest to the award of the contract to VSE with the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), and as a result, the performance of the awarded contract is subject to an automatic stay, pending the outcome of the protest. VSE’s work continues under the predecessor contract, but the level of effort may be constrained until the protest is resolved. GAO protests are generally resolved in no more than 100 days. VSE believes that the NAVSEA contract has been properly awarded to VSE and that there is no merit to the Booz Allen Hamilton protest to the GAO.
