A nearly $91 million extension to an Army contract means more work at the Olin/Winchester centerfire ammunition plant in Oxford, Mississippi.

A Pentagon list of military contracts signed Friday includes a $90.8 million modification to a contract for 5.56mm, 7l.62mm and .50-caliber ammunition cartridges.

The contract is between Olin Corp. of East Alton, Illinois, and the Army Contracting Command in Rock Island, Illinois, but the work is to be done in Oxford.

The estimated completion date is July 31, 2018.
