Item 8.01 Other Events
As previously reported by WidePoint Corporation (the “Company”), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, iSYS, LLC (“iSYS”), was awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (“BPA”) HSHQDC-13-A-00024 for Cellular Wireless Managed Services by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) for the furnishing of products and services by iSYS to DHS. A third-party bidder, TeleCommunications Systems, Inc., subsequently filed a protest at DHS of the BPA award to iSYS. As a result of the filing of that protest, DHS issued a stop work order to iSYS under the BPA.
On August 15, 2013, iSYS was notified by DHS that the stop work order had been lifted and that iSYS was then authorized to resume performance under the BPA.
On August 26, 2013, iSYS was notified by DHS that TeleCommunications Systems, Inc. had filed a protest at the U.S. Government Accountability Office (“GAO”) of the award of the BPA to iSYS, and that as a result of such protest filing, iSYS’ performance under the BPA was again stayed until such protest was decided upon by GAO.
On December 16, 2013, iSYS learned that the GAO posted on its bid protest docket on the GAO website that the protest had been denied, effective December 13, 2013. Also on December 16, 2013, iSYS was notified by DHS that the stop work order had been lifted, and iSYS has been authorized to resume performance under the BPA. The BPA relates to new work for iSYS.
