Pentagon officials say more than 50 percent of the work will be performed in DeLeon Springs, Fla., with the other 40 percent completed in Columbia City, Ind., with an expected completion date of October 2020. The Department of Defense not pre-funding the contract award, instead furnishing it upon delivery of individual orders.
