This is an extension of the 4.5 million marine security detail for the embassies that fats announced in sept...and mr Jones said they chose not to bid on it for some number of reasons which I cant completley recall but when queried about it, he said something about "the eye of the beholder" or something to that effect..
To be awarded the fist contract, then the immediate susequent option on it up to 11 million means that the USMC has alot of faith in the Fats product line, for whatever reason!
