It has something to do with affirmative action and awarding minority-owned businesses contracts through the various government agencies including the US Department of Defense. It's just a source for corruption if you ask me. It's like the military saying "oh sure, you can count on US to defend the country, but we can't defend our own base installation". It's ridiculous.
Yes, it was awarded in 2015 and doesn't expire until 2019. Does that mean Trump and Mattis hands are tied behind their backs and have to allow this invasion of a military base to continue? Contracts can be broken or Mattis can say to this incompetent private company, move out of the way our troops will do what you failed to do and protect the border.
