Stanley has contracted with the departments of State and Transportation, the GSA and other agencies, and in 2006 the company expanded its contracts with the Army and began contracting with NASA.

Since announcing Alliant's awards in July, the GSA put a stay on the contract because of the case in federal claims court. Agencies won't be able to buy from the Alliant contract until the judge rules on the case, which is expected in early March.

Along with Stanley and Serco, bid protests were filed by CGI Federal, STG, Apptis, Artel, Advanced Technology Systems, Nortel Government Solutions and Centech Group.

These companies' protests were dismissed by the GAO after Serco took the issue to the claims court, which is a standard practice by the GAO. The companies essentially thought that the GSA's evaluation of their proposals was flawed. The court consolidated the protests into one case because they dealt with the same complaint, and one ruling would suffice for each protest.
