NEW: A former executive linked to Michael Flynn, who was CEO of Flynn Intel Group subsidiary in 2016 when Flynn contracted with Ekim Alptekin's Inovo to investigate Fethullah Gulen - is founder of a company that was awarded a $48,843,831 Air Force contract in Sept 2019 / Thread
Note there’s no indication Flynn is linked to the $48mil contract or that there's anything unusual about the award - but the company that won the contract had links to Flynn & contract includes “development of electronic warfare/cyber network attack software and hardware systems”
Tim Newberry was CEO of Flynn Intel Group (FIG) Cyber in 2016 when Flynn was hired by Inovo to investigate Gulen for Turkish interests. Newberry & Jon Iadonisi co-founded White Canvas Group which shared office space with Flynn - background in 2017 article https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/the-mystery-behind-a-flynn-associates-quiet-work-for-the-trump-campaign/2017/05/04/fc86980e-3044-11e7-9534-00e4656c22aa_story.html

The $48mil DoD contract for Blackhorse Solutions “will advance global vigilance, global reach, and global power in the information environment (including) rapid tool development, development of electronic warfare/cyber network attack software and hardware”

There’s another Sept 2019 contract for $12,433,616.35 for Blackhorse Solutions, with initial payment of $993,170.48 for “Custom Computer Programming Services...ADP Software, Equipment, and Telecommunications Training” location: Germany https://govtribe.com/award/federal-contract-award/delivery-order-47qtca19d0001-47qfma19f0020
As noted earlier there's no indication of anything unusual in contracts for Blackhorse Solutions & no known links to Flynn for these awards, but the same players keep re-appearing and profiting under this admin - and firms engaged in cyber operations should be looked at closely
