Are you in FRPT? Big news last night. I just got in this AM....

WASHINGTON, Feb 21 (Reuters) - Force Protection Industries Inc (FRPT.O: Quote, Profile, Research) is being awarded a U.S. Navy contract modification worth up to $115.2 million for 174 mine-resistant, ambush-protected trucks destined for Britain, the U.S. Defense Department said on Thursday.

Work is expected to be wrapped up in July 2009, the Pentagon said in its daily list of contracts. Britain is buying the vehicles in a government-to-government deal under the U.S. Foreign Military Sales program. (Reporting by Jim Wolf; Editing by Tim Dobbyn)
