The contracts, which are antici-
pated to cost not more than $3 bil-
lion over an eight-year ordering
period, are part of the U.S. Small

help small, disadvantaged firms to
compete in the construction market.
Florida firms that have been
awarded contracts are ELCI Con-
struction Group Inc. from North
Miami in women-owned small busi-
ness awards; ESA South Inc. from
Cantonment, Advon Corporation

tracting of FL LLC from Tampa in

limited to, alteration, modification,
maintenance, repair, demolition, de-
sign-built and new construction of fa-
cilities at Stennis Space Center in
Mississippi, Johnson Space Center
in Texas, White Sands Test Facility in
New Mexico, Kennedy Space Center

ter in Alabama, and Michoud Assem-
bly Facility in Louisiana. With
approval of the Stennis procurement

ated with the following factors put
into consideration: technical accept-
ability, past performance and price.
