Pedersen, Chairman of the Board and CEO, ManTech International Corporation. "Their support to the mission and level of technical competency is excellent and what's most impressive is that each year, they continue to improve," said Mr. Pedersen.

In order to receive the GSFC Contractor Excellence Award, which has been awarded annually since 1988, applicants must achieve measurable results over a three-year period based on customer satisfaction; technical and schedule performance; cost; leadership and continuous improvement; and innovative management and technology breakthroughs.
