Orbimage announced Monday that it has received notice from the Government Accountability Office that they have dismissed the protest of the NextView Second Vendor contract awarded to Orbimage from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. The protest had been filed by New SI LLC, the competing bidder under the program. Orbimage believes New SI is an affiliate of Space Imaging. The protest did not affect Orbimage's work on the NextView program since NGA had earlier directed Orbimage to continue working under the awarded contract during the protest proceeding. "We were always confident that Orbimage would retain the award, but the formal dismissal is still good news and eliminates any unwanted distractions so we can continue to focus on giving NGA great value under our NextView contract," said Matthew O'Connell, Orbimage's CEO.
