Navy orders rocket launchers from firm charged in kickback case
The Navy awarded Alsco Inc. a 5.04 million dollar modification for 2.75 inch rocket launchers from the St. Louis firm under federal indictment for alleged kickbacks on previous contracts. The case also involves a 13.9 million dollar award to Alsco's Techfab Division amid ongoing bids for a second source. The launchers serve both Navy and Air Force in Vietnam, with patent rights cited as a barrier to new manufacturers.
