SECAF is the premier organization for small and emerging government contractors.  "SECAF recognizes that strong, emerging firms with revenues of less than $25M in annual revenues rarely have an opportunity to be recognized, although they are accomplishing great things," stated Shiv Krishnan, chairman of SECAF and CEO of government contractor INDUS Corporation.  The second annual Awards Gala, where winners will be announced, is set to take place on April 29, 2010 at the Hilton McLean Tyson's Corner.  The event is expected to draw a wide range of small and emerging government contractors and the key stakeholders that rely on small business for new innovation. 

"It's a great honor to be selected as a finalist for this prestigious award by SECAF and to be recognized for our work providing military and other government clients with cutting edge solutions for the complex challenges they face every day," said Sean Lane, CEO of Berico Tailored Systems.  "As former end users of information and telecommunications technology on the battlefield, we fundamentally understand the critical needs of our customers and look forward to continuing our work to revolutionize how they use, transmit and optimize information to fulfill their missions."
