Abstract:

North Carolina has the fourth-largest number of military personnel in the country, but ranks twenty-third in securing Department of Defense contracts. Out of $230 billion spent on defense by the federal government, North Carolina received only $2.2 billion. Matchforce.org, based in Fayetteville, posts information about government contracts and seeks to match state businesses with items sought by the government. The state appropriated $1.8 million for the center in 2004, and Scott Dorney, a retired army lieutenant-colonel, heads it.
