Last Night’s
Contracting Awards
|
|
| |
| Wonderful crowd at last night’s Fairfax Chamber of Commerce Government Contracting Awards at the Tysons’ Ritz. And wonderful news if you think $200M contracts are a sign of recession's end. |

 |
|
CSC CEO Mike Laphen and Sally Stephenson. Mike tells us that yesterday, CSC won a five-year $200M task order from USAID for infrastructure engineering support under GSA’s Millenia contract.
|
| |
 |
| We also caught up with CSC’s former prez of its Systems Group, Al Nashman, given the Hall of Fame Award for 27 years of service there. He's with CSC Defense Division president Austin Yerks. |

We caught Citizant CEO Raymond Roberts with two women again (he told us to write that): Citizant President Alba Aleman and biz dev goddess Fiona Barshow (plus GSA FAS Commissioner Jim Williams). From Jim, a little known fact about GSA: The agency is a huge provider of goods to the War Fighter; ships going to war zones are more than 50% filled with GSA supplies. Oh, and Jim tells us he once stayed in the same hotel as Metallica. We’re officially jealous.

DIAMOND Marketing’s Fred Diamond, The Granato Group’s Laura Granato, and Pleasant Valley Business Solutions’ Jeff Lubell and Paul Skurpski. Microsoft recently announced that PVBS is one of the top three Microsoft Dynamics NAV partners in the world. And the other two are in Europe, so they’re tops in the states. If you see Fred today please console him: He’s a big Phillies fan.

Congratulations to NVTC president Bobbie Kilberg, named yesterday as co-chair to Governor-elect Bob McDonnell’s transition team. Bobbie has known the soon-to-be gov since ’93 when she ran for Lt. Governor. She didn’t travel with Bob during his recent election, but hosted him three times with NVTC. She previously served on Mark Warner’s transition team when he became governor along with the presidential teams of Bush 41 and 43. Oh, and that other guy in the picture is some dude named Vivek.
