Smart Contractors Congratulate Smart Contractors, and Smart Public-Sector Partners too!

While some say the big winners of 2010 were revealed on Tuesday, smart contractors know that the year’s biggest winners were announced Wednesday night at the much anticipated 2010 Government Contractor Awards!

Nearly 1,000 people turned out to celebrate the industry and learn which companies would claim the title of “Contractor of the Year” and which executives would be crowned “Executive of the Year.”

And the winners are…

PSC Members Honored as 2010 Government Contractor Award Finalists

The brightest lights of the government contracting world shined Tuesday night at the Ritz Carlton in Tysons Corner during the second most anticipated event of the year: the announcement of the finalists for the 8th Annual Greater Washington Government Contractor Awards (aka the GovCon Awards)! PSC member companies are in the running for six of the seven awards, thanks to some pretty smart contracting. The full list of finalists can be found here. The winners will be announced at the most anticipated event of the year: the Nov. 3 GovCon gala dinner!

While we all await the big event to hear who the industry winners are, we can applaud three honorees already named. They are the two public-sector partners honorees—Charlie Williams, the director of the Defense Contract Management Agency, and Soraya Correa, the director of the Office of Procurement Operations at the Homeland Security Department—and this year’s Greater Washington Government Contractor Hall of Fame inductee—Clifford Kendall, founder of Computer Data Systems, Inc.
