The number was ascertained of the firms within the continental United States which evidenced the requisite design, procurement policies, and production capabilities to meet immediate military construction needs. Additional firm products were tabulated that were suitable for use in selected building types in particular geographical regions. Joint purchasing consortiums with some civilian agencies proximate to military installations are noted as possible during the intermediate range MCA Program. Cost comparisons are made.
