Contractors gear up as KC-46A work starts at McConnell
Preparations at McConnell Air Force Base for the arrival of 36 KC 46A air refueling tankers begin with groundbreaking on the first 197 million dollars in new construction. Congress has allocated 219 million for tanker work. Local firms say competition for federal contracts has intensified and governments are offering more bids, with opportunities spanning custodial work to firefighting equipment and facility repairs. Exhibit Arts owner Beth Harshfield notes more bids recently, while SBA officials say Kansas federal contracts total 1.5 to 2 billion annually, with a portion going to small, local firms and training through Kansas PTAC at Wichita State University.
