Published January 30, 2015 • By Command Security
Herndon, VA, January 30, 2015 – Command Security Corporation (NYSE MKT:MOC) today announced that on January 29, 2015, the U.S. Postal Service (“USPS”) issued a stay of the transition of the two contracts recently awarded to Command Security Corporation (“Command Security” or the “Company”) pending the resolution of a dispute over the award of such contracts. The contracts at issue were disclosed in a press release issued by the Company on January 6, 2015, and in a Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 12, 2015. On January 27, 2015, the Company was notified by the USPS that ABM Security Services (“ABM”) had lodged a protest with the USPS seeking to overturn the contracts that were awarded to the Company. Also on January 27, 2015, the Company learned that the USPS denied ABM’s protest on January 20, 2015, ruling that ABM’s grounds for its protest are all without merit. ABM has appealed USPS’s ruling. On January 29, 2015, the Company was notified that ABM had filed an action with the U.S. Court of Federal Claims seeking an injunction to stop the transition of such contracts to Command Security.
The Company strongly disagrees with ABM’s assertion that the contracts were improperly awarded to the Company, and intends to vigorously defend its rights with respect to the contracts awarded to it.
Until the USPS issued its stay on January 29, 2015, the Company was to assume operational responsibility for these contracts on February 1, 2015 and March 1, 2015, respectively. The Company cannot determine how long the stay of the transition of the contracts to the Company will remain in effect or predict the outcome of the dispute, including whether the transition will occur.
