Premier Contracts and Procurement Staffing Agency Expands to California

October 16, 2006 (San Diego, Calif.) – In 1989 Lloyd M. Mustin II, a former US Navy officer, created XL Associates (XL) to provide highly skilled contracts and procurement professionals to public and private sector clients. Today, the company is proud to announce its expansion into Southern California.

“We’re extremely excited to be moving into this dynamic market,” Mustin said. “San Diego’s high tech community is ripe for the types of services we provide. The new office will build upon our existing national success by giving us a local West Coast presence.”

Success in today’s global business environment requires unparalleled agility, flexibility and efficiency. XL Associates believes that excellence is not optional and strives to match highly skilled professionals to employers who need them most.

The company currently serves clients in all phases of the procurement process, ranging from major systems contract and subcontract management to commodity buying and contract closeout. XL Associates places candidates in contract, direct, contract-to-hires and long-term contract positions. For federal clients, XL Associates takes a cradle-to-grave approach in acquisition support. Our services include pre and post-award acquisition planning, drafting a statement of work development, soliciting development, analyzing costs and prices, negotiating support, contract and delivery order development, contract administration, and contract closeouts. XL's valued clients include many of America's most well respected companies and government agencies.

XL is committed to exceeding clients’ expectations for each project by providing highly qualified professionals who have already demonstrated the capacity for superior job performance.
