Reverse
Auctioning Contract Renewed with the U.S. Army,
Ft. Monmoth (06/15/03)
SEC, MOAI, and Symbolic Systems were contracted
to continue providing the U.S. Army, Ft. Monmoth,

in their best interest along other dimensions
than price alone - providing the best value to
the government in terms that can be met most agreeably
