    Naval Testimony
    From my experience, Valor is an invaluable contractor. They are always professional and willing to work with Navy counterparts. When issues arise, they are communicative and timely in their responses. They continue to make improvements in all processes, production and management. From the past two 5-year IDIQ alone, Valor has successfully manufactured hundreds of lots of CCU-136s and CCU-145s. Valor has continued to keep up with the increased demand and even exceeded that demand at times, all while maintaining high quality in their products. Valor is always looking for new ways to improve and expand their capabilities.
