Subcontracting

The Entwistle Co. has acquired The Hales Group, enhancing its naval capabilities and position in the defense market. This acquisition may create new subcontracting opportunities within U.S. Navy procurements, likely influencing competitive dynamics significantly.

Maryland has terminated its Phase 2 contract with Kiewit for the Francis Scott Key Bridge, citing excessive cost proposals. This creates new opportunities for contractors while reshaping the landscape of the state’s $5 billion infrastructure undertaking, emphasizing the critical need for competitive pricing amid federal-state collaboration.
