Caddell Yates, a Montgomery, AL, company was awarded a $180 M contract to build a new facility at the USMC’s Camp Lejuene in North Carolina. The contract could be worth even more if other options are exercised. It seems that this facility will be support a new Marine Regiment forming at the Camp as part of the planned expansion of the USMC.

DoD buys some vegetables

In a contact that is an example of several things, Adams Brothers Produce of Montgomery, AL won a contract worth $7 M or so to provide fruits and vegetables. See the story here. This shows that DoD buys small things, big things, cheap and expensive things. It didn’t say if these were for the Defense Commissary Service, or to be served to troops. The other thing about this contract is that it is a small business set aside. That means only certain companies can bid on it. So in the name of social engineering, DoD may not always get the best value for its money.
