Small Businesses are Key to Mission Success and Economic Recovery

More than 2,000 contractors support the 50th Space Wing and its missions around the world, many of whom are employed by small businesses.

These contractors perform various maintenance, logistics, and transportation services for the base. They maintain the traffic lights, streets and surrounding grounds. Small businesses employ the contracted doctors and nurses that provide medical care at the clinic. Small businesses feed the base at the Satellite Dining Facility. Small-business contractors not only help take care of the base, they also support the wing’s war-fighting mission by managing the local-area network. Additionally, as new missions come here, small-business contractors are responsible for building new facilities to house additional people and equipment.
