DoD clears way ahead for $4.6 Billion translation contract

Dyncorp was cleared to go ahead and begin work on a $4.6 B contract it had won to provide translation services in Iraq to the US DoD. It had been protested by one of the losers. See the story here. L3 dropped the protest after it became part of the team that Dyncorp had set up to perform the services. That is one way around the protests process. Of course it helps that this is one large service contract with plenty of work to spread around. L3 was the incumbent who lost the contract.
