Symantec ELA was created in the form of a three-year, $70.8 million contract, but the military decided after the first year and signed a pure contract with Symantec, according to documents published on the Army`s Chess (Computer Hardware, Enterprise Software and Solutions) portal. „There is a good reason why these contracts are in place. DISA and others want to ensure business consistency and standardization and ensure they get fair and reasonable prices,” says Tony Colangelo, executive member of Minburn Technology Group, a Microsoft distributor partner based in Great Falls, Va. The Health Informatics Department retrieved and evaluated the proposals as part of a company-level purchasing framework contract using a technically acceptable approach.
