A few days ago one reader who’s well-versed in the federal contracting biz told me he thought MZM’s (Duke Cunningham’s favorite company) profile looked like it was basically trolling for work. What he meant by this was that the company didn’t seem to have any particular specialty as much as it was looking for politically-available contracts and then searching out people to do the work on them.

This came to my mind when I saw this graf at the end of the piece in today’s Post ..

Government procurement records show that MZM, which Wade started in 1993, did not report any revenue from prime contract awards until 2003. Most of its revenue has come from the agreement the Pentagon just cut off. But over the past three years it was also awarded several contracts, worth more than $600,000, by the Executive Office of the President. They include a $140,000 deal for office furniture in 2002 and several for unspecified “intelligence services.”
