This contract enables Red Arrow to be assigned projects with the U.S. Navy as it fulfills its spending target of 5% for women owned businesses and 23% for small businesses.
“Red Arrow has significant experience as a Department of Defense bonded carrier and has worked with multiple defense agencies, so this is an important achievement for us to be able to continue to expand our role with their agencies,” said Liz Lasater, CEO of Red Arrow Logistics.
Under this contract Red Arrow becomes a vendor to numerous organizations within the Navy, including Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR), and the U.S. Marine Corps.
