Snip
Though McCarthy and Wages both claim they never discussed business related to Vortex, the companys best years for contracts happen to coincide with McCarthys first two years in Congress 2006 to 2008.
Vortex received a total of about $5 million in prime contracts during those years, including $2.7 million in billings at China Lake. Over time, Vortex would obtain about $4 million in prime contracts at China Lake, $2.4 million at Lemoore and smaller amounts for work at Edwards Air Force Base in McCarthys district and other federal properties.
In all, it won about $7.6 million in federal contracts the vast majority as no-bid and other contracts reserved for minority-owned firms, federal contracting records show.
