Department of War posts Jan. 15, 2026 contract announcements valued at $7.5 million or more

The specific companies or contractors that received awards on Jan. 15, 2026 cannot be identified from publicly accessible sources at this time. The official Jan. 15, 2026 contracts notice on War.gov is access-restricted, and no reputable secondary outlet has republished the line‑item award details yet.

The full text of each day’s contract awards (including contractor names, award amounts, scope summaries, and contract numbers) is published in the Contracts section of War.gov at:

• Main contracts index: https://www.war.gov/News/Contracts/
• Specific daily article (for Jan. 15, 2026): https://www.war.gov/News/Contracts/Contract/Article/4380949/contracts-for-jan-15-2026/

Each daily article typically contains the narrative award descriptions; War.gov does not usually host separate PDFs for individual awards—full legal and financial details are instead found in the underlying procurement records (e.g., SAM.gov and contract files) referenced by the contract numbers.

The War/Defense Department’s $7.5 million public‑announcement threshold is based on the total contract value, which normally includes the base period plus all option periods and any potential ceiling value stated in the award. In the daily contract releases, the Department routinely specifies “if all options are exercised, the total value will be $X,” indicating that the reported value and the decision to publish are tied to the maximum potential value rather than the base year alone.

War/Defense contracts announcements are issued once each business day, normally at or around 5 p.m. local time, covering all new contract awards and major modifications at or above the $7.5 million threshold. The daily items are archived in the Contracts section of War.gov, which provides a chronological list and search tools for previous days’ releases.

Daily contract announcements are prepared and posted by the Department’s public affairs organization (analogous to the Office of the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs) through the War.gov “News / Press Products / Contracts” section. The public media contact for these releases is the War/Defense Department Public Affairs Office, reachable via the main “Media” or “Press Contacts” information on War.gov, rather than an individual contracting office named in each notice.

Major War/Defense contracts are subject to several oversight and transparency mechanisms:

• Statutory procurement rules (Federal Acquisition Regulation and Defense FAR Supplement) govern competition, documentation, and justification standards.
• Contract actions are posted to public systems like SAM.gov above specified dollar thresholds, providing basic award data.
• The Department’s Office of Inspector General, the Government Accountability Office (GAO), and service audit agencies can review or audit specific contracts, protests, or programs.
• The Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) oversees contract performance and compliance at many defense contractors.
• Congress receives reporting through budget materials and may hold hearings on high‑value programs.

These mechanisms apply in addition to the public daily announcements on War.gov, which provide summary information but not full audit detail.
