Perhaps this may answer your question. Here's a news item released: Wednesday March 25, 4:59 pm Eastern Time Gateway 2000 signs Pulsar government deal NORTH SIOUX CITY, S.D., March 25 (Reuters) - Gateway 2000 Inc. said Wednesday it signed an agreement with Pulsar Data Systems Inc. to offer Gateway computers and products to the U.S. federal government through a Pulsar contract. Pulsar Data, a computer systems integrator, will offer Gateway products through the National Institute of Health Electronic Computer Store II (NIH ECS II) contract. The electronic store provides all federal government agencies with off-the-shelf computer hardware, software, maintenance and other services.
