BILLERICA, Mass., May 6 (UPI) -- The U.S. government has renewed a contract with American Science and Engineering Inc. to provide maintenance services for its mobile X-ray screening system.
U.S. company AS&E was awarded a $2.3 million follow-on deal to continue providing maintenance and other life-cycle-management services for its Z Backscatter Vans deployed by the U.S. government.
