VSE Corp.'s GLOBAL Division has retained a one-year $277 million cost-plus-award-fee, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract by the U.S. Naval Sea Systems Command as a result of the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) having denied a protest to the award of the contract to VSE. VSE originally announced the award on October 3rd, 2011 prior to the protest. VSE's performance of the awarded contract can now proceed. The five-year maximum potential $1.5 billion contract is for continuous lifecycle support of naval vessels bought, sold, or otherwise transferred to Foreign Military Sales customers through the International Fleet Support Program.
