Item 8.01 Other Events.
On January 26, 2010, the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division awarded Argon ST, Inc. a contract to provide twenty-eight ground surveillance units and associated spares for deployment in support of operational forces abroad. The contract awarded to us is presently the subject of a bid protest, an administrative proceeding pending before the Government Accountability Office ("GAO"). Pursuant to statute, all work under the contract is stayed pending resolution of the protest. We intend to join with the government in vigorously defending the award decision. If this protest is successful, the government may determine to re-evaluate proposals, re-compete the program, or pursue some other alternative that may result in a termination for convenience of the work in our contract that has not yet been performed. At this time, we are unable to predict either whether the protest will be upheld or what actions would be taken in response to a decision by GAO to uphold the protest, and therefore cannot determine whether or not the outcome would be material to us. If the protest is unsuccessful, we anticipate that we will resume performance under the contract and proceed as rapidly as possible to meet the original schedule.
The information in this section of this Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
