What believers are saying

  • Its 2026 jobs span Juncos, Dorado, Yauco, and Juana Díaz, signaling broad demand.
  • Federal contractor registration with SAM.gov expands access to government-funded facilities work.

What critics are saying

  • FITS depends on contract hiring, exposing revenue to client shutdowns and procurement delays.

  • A rival integrator winning Amgen or J&J accounts would immediately compress FITS utilization.
