Company, with new $3.8M contract, re-ups in Tampa

TAMPA — Lukos LLC intends to add up to 10 technical and senior level jobs in the coming months in Tampa and expand its headquarters there, officials say.

A trio of other states attempted to lure Lukos' headquarters away from Florida, according to a statement. But Enterprise Florida, the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, the City of Tampa, Hillsborough County and the Tampa Hillsborough Economic Development Corp. all worked together to retain Lukos and help with its expansion

Lukos, which supports federal government and U.S. military acquisition programs with engineering and health care advice, training and operations support, logistics planning and other services, recently was awarded a $3.8 million, two-year contract to create a new system using a mobile application to help lower preventable battlefield casualties.
