Department of War posts contracts of $7.5 million or more for Jan. 12, 2026

The full text and line‑by‑line details for the Jan. 12, 2026 contracts are on the specific contracts article page in the War.gov News section:

• Go to the Department of War’s Contracts page at https://www.war.gov/News/Contracts/.
• From there, open the item titled “Contracts for Jan. 12, 2026” (URL shown in the article: https://www.war.gov/News/Contracts/Contract/Article/4376288/).

Each daily contracts article lists all qualifying awards for that date, with details such as the contractor name, contract number, dollar value, and what is being purchased.

The contracts are awarded by individual Department of War (Defense) contracting activities (for example, Army, Navy, Air Force, Defense Logistics Agency, or other DoD components), and those offices are identified in each line of the daily contracts announcement.

On the daily contracts page, every entry normally ends with a sentence that names the specific contracting activity/office (such as “Army Contracting Command, Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, is the contracting activity”), which is the office that actually executed that contract award.

The Jan. 12, 2026 announcement aggregates all Department of War contracts of $7.5 million or more awarded that day, so it typically covers a wide range of goods and services. Based on how these daily lists are structured, the contracts usually include things like:

• Weapons, vehicles, aircraft, and other major military equipment
• Construction and facility work on bases
• IT systems, software, communications, and cyber services
• Logistics support, maintenance, and training services
• Research and development projects

The exact mix for Jan. 12, 2026 is only visible on that specific daily contracts article, but it follows the same pattern as other “Contracts for [date]” postings.

The Department publicly posts only contracts at or above $7.5 million in this daily list as an internal disclosure threshold: it focuses the public summary on larger, higher‑dollar awards, while smaller awards are still reported through other federal transparency systems.

Federal acquisition rules separately require public synopses and reporting of many contract awards (for example, DFARS 205.303 requires public announcement of DoD contract awards above a set dollar threshold), but the specific $7.5 million cutoff for the War.gov daily contracts list is a departmental practice for its news page rather than a legal limit on disclosure.

Yes. The daily contracts announcement normally includes, for each listed contract:

• The name of the company (awardee) and its location
• The total obligated amount or maximum value of the contract (or modification)
• A brief description of what is being bought and the service/command funding it

This structure is consistent across the Department of War’s “Contracts for [date]” posts, including the Jan. 12, 2026 article.

To learn about and bid on future Department of War contracts, a company generally must:

1. Register in the federal System for Award Management (SAM.gov), which is required for all federal contracting.
2. Monitor contract opportunities on SAM.gov (the government‑wide portal where solicitations and pre‑solicitation notices are posted).
3. Use Department of Defense “doing business with DoD” resources (for example, the DoD Office of Small Business Programs and its guides) to understand requirements, certifications, and points of contact.

These steps give companies access to upcoming solicitations and the ability to submit bids or proposals for future Department of War contracts.
