The list of this year’s Greater Washington Government Contractor Award finalists came out this week and the category of companies with more than $300 million in annual revenue features some of the sector’s most notable names and leaders.

The Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce and Professional Services Council hand the GovCon awards each year to executives and companies the organizations deem as “demonstrative of leadership, innovation and commitment to the excellence of the individuals and businesses in the region’s government contracting sector.”

Six GovCon executives and five companies are up for nomination in the $300 million-plus category that saw Anne Altman, IBM’s U.S. federal lead, and American Systems take home the honors in 2014 for “Executive of the Year” and “Contractor of the Year” respectively.

Five of the “Executive of the Year” nominees for 2015 in the $300 million-plus are also members of Executive Mosaic’s Wash100 for 2015,  our selection of GovCon’s most influential voices.
