Default Best City for IT Gov't Contracts?

Hello all in the state of Florida. I am curious on where I might find the most IT (Java) jobs related to Government military contracts? I'm thinking either Tampa Bay or Orlando?

Thanks for all of your replies.

You might want to consider Brevard County. Boeing and Lockheed Martin have operations there, and there used to be another but I can't for the life of me remember which one (GE, maybe?).

If it's between the two, I think Orlando has more options. There's Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Harris if I remember correctly. Check the job boards like monster.com, careerbuilder.com, dice.com and see which area has more positions available.

Might want to consider NW Florida: We have all the top 10 GOV contractor (I worked for one) and the market is strong with the Eglin AFB, Tyndall AFB, Hurlburt Field and all the Navy sites in the area.
