Before MAYER, SCHALL, and BRYSON, Circuit Judges.


MAYER, Circuit Judge.

United International Investigative Services appeals the judgment of the United States Court of Federal Claims, holding the United States liable for a material defect in a contract for security services at an Air Force base, 33 Fed. Cl. 363 (1995), but awarding no damages. The United States cross-appeals, arguing that it was not liable because the contract was not defective.
