Maryville, Tenn. – Only two months in to 2010, and one local company is beginning the year by winning a large contract overseas, while also projecting another significant growth year.  Critical Mission Support Services (CMSS), a Maryville-based company specializing in providing governments and organizations around the world with mission critical services, was recently awarded a $10M contract with the Joint Contracting Command, Afghanistan. This contract serves as a vehicle to provide third country national or U.S. National personnel in support of the coalition efforts in Afghanistan. 

“This is a great opportunity for CMSS to expand our business and our existing footprint in Afghanistan,” said CMSS President, Eric Barton.  “We’ve had a great start to 2010 and are excited about the direction of the company as we continue to grow and expand throughout the year.”
