Vienna, VA – August 12, 2010—MicroTech, a leading technology systems integrator, has been awarded a 4-year NASA SEWP IV contract — U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs (VA) Bar Code Expansion – Positive Patient Identification (BCE-PPI)  — with a total value of $14.3 Million. The contract provides the VA with a Positive Patient Identification (PPID) solution focused on the labeling and administration of blood products using a wired or wireless environment.
