In Global Crossing's case, he said it was likely that the telecoms provider had specific contracts with certain Government agencies that had raised flags within CFIUS.

Sure it does. It's a major US telecommunications carrier. It's also a "carrier's carrier" as other press reports have pointed out - other prime contractors' government traffic would need to ride on their fiber and use their signaling. And I don't think there's anything in the law that would bar this company under the new ownership from bidding on - or winning - US government contracts.
