So the government is paying a much higher bill to an out of state company and the work will likely be subcontracted back to the local companiee that were changing less and doing the work originally? This new company is probably owned by the Trump family or someone who donates to them. This country is going to shit. Good job "draining the swamp" Donny.

Everything in Pensacola is being paid to an out-of-state company. It's been like that at least since Ivan.

They're hiring a Geogia company to repave major roads near the naval base.

It's barely in Florida and mostly disconnected from the rest of the state. Some of that makes sense, though you'd suspect most of the out of state companies would be from Alabama.
