The company's contract awards span from early 2025 through September 2025, with completion dates typically matching award dates or occurring within days of the award, indicating rapid fulfillment cycles that support immediate military aviation operational requirements across East Coast locations, particularly with performance taking place at the company's West Columbia, South Carolina facility.
