Sprint (NYSE: S), a leader in federal and health care wireless
solutions, in affiliation with A&T Systems, today announced it
has received a National Mobile Devices and Services contract award

pleased to team with A&T Systems to increase our support of the
VA by harnessing the power and product portfolios of small
disadvantaged, woman-owned, veteran owned, and service-disabled
veteran-owned small businesses.”
