   This contract enables Red Arrow to be assigned projects with the Navy as it fulfills its spending target of 5 percent for women-owned businesses and 23 percent 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, chief executive officer of Red Arrow Logistics, in a statement.
   Under the contract, Red Arrow becomes a vendor to numerous organizations within the Navy, including Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Air Systems Command, Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command, and the U.S. Marine Corps. SeaPort-e is the Navy’s electronic platform for acquiring support services in 22 areas including logistics support, supply and provisioning, and program management.
   'This award approves our firm as a supplier to all of the U.S. Navy's prime defense contractors for the first time and recognizes the fact that we have consistently met and exceeded the requirements of past military logistics contracts,' Lasater said.
