Unisys Gets DHS Contract Worth Up to $750 million

feamsr00 writes "In an affirmation of its business relationship with Unisys Corp., the Department of Homeland Security awarded the Blue Bell firm a "bridge" contract worth up to $750 million. Some controversy erupted in the fall after it was reported that the government was auditing a Unisys contract because the company had possibly overbilled the Transportation Security Administration by as much as 171,000 hours of labor and overtime. TSA is a division of the Homeland Security department. Unisys is also to upgrade the Department of Homeland Security's headquarters facility in Washington."

    They don't have to make things much safer, they only have to make people feel that things are much safer now.

    When I worked for Unisys about 4 years ago, they had 32 way xeon machines. They were the company that provided the biggest windows server, OEM to HP too. Not that I'm saying it's necessarily a great product, but do give them some credits.
