Defense Link - contracts
At the above link, you can find day by day summaries of all the contracts being let by the DoD. I extract certain highlights (i.e., the ones over $100M) and present them below.
This is all public domain stuff and not subject to copyright.
Follow me below the fold.
Oh, and every $100M contract pays 0.1% of a year's worth of health care progress.
Slow week - maybe it's the holiday. Lots of small contracts, though.
Look for more action starting with the new fiscal year in October, although the real trigger may be the passage of the Federal budget.
