The Army Corps of Engineers awarded the orders to Springfield-based Versar, a program management company.
Versar said that these delivery orders increase the company's work by nearly 50 percent from what was originally planned. The orders are expected to be completed by April 2008. Performing the work is VIAP, Versar's international division in Iraq. Ted Prociv, president and CEO of Versar (AMEX: VSR), said the company's work in Iraq should result in more business opportunities overseas.
