Federal Contracting in Guam
Guam is “The tip of the spear” — a Pacific power-projection hub in the middle of a historic construction boom. Guam is one of the most strategically important pieces of U.S. territory in the Pacific and is in the middle of a historic military build-up—including the new Marine Corps base at Camp Blaz. Construction, facilities, logistics, and base-support work are at extraordinary levels for the island’s size.
