According to the official Jan. 2, 2026 contracts announcement, the listing includes at least:
No other contracts are listed on the Jan. 2, 2026 announcement page as of the latest available version.
The $7.5 million threshold applies to each individual contract action (award, order, or modification), not to the total of all awards a contractor receives.
DoD’s contract‑announcement rule (DFARS 205.303) states that the threshold (currently updated to $9 million in regulation, previously $7.5 million) is applied to “all contractual actions… that have a face value… of more than” the threshold amount—i.e., per action, excluding unexercised options, not cumulatively per contractor. Indefinite‑delivery and similar vehicles are reported based on the estimated face value of the specific contract award; later orders under that ceiling are only reported if an individual order or modification itself exceeds the threshold.
These contract lists are published each business day.
The Department’s contracts page states that contracts valued at the threshold amount or more “are announced each business day at 5 p.m.” (local Pentagon time), meaning routine daily postings on working days, with no announcements on weekends or federal holidays.
• Classified/sensitive contracts: Awards whose details are classified or whose disclosure would compromise national security are generally not described in these public contract announcements. Federal acquisition rules allow agencies not to synopsize or publicly announce such awards when disclosure would harm national security.
• Redacted information: When some aspects are sensitive but the existence of the contract can be acknowledged, DoD may release a public description with limited detail (e.g., generic descriptions of the work, omission of locations or funding breakdowns), but not full classified content.
• Sole‑source contracts: Sole‑source awards that meet the dollar threshold and are not classified are routinely included. Many daily announcements explicitly state, “This was a sole‑source acquisition,” showing such contracts are publicly reported when unclassified and above the threshold.
Full contract details for a given day are on that day’s contract‑announcement page within the Contracts section of War/Defense.gov.

Responsibility for publishing these announcements is split:
• The contracting offices in each military department or defense agency prepare the award information. • Under DFARS 205.303(a)(ii), departments and agencies must submit that information “to the Office of the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs” (OASD(PA)), which handles the official public announcement on the Department’s website.
So the Office of the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs is the central office responsible for releasing the daily contract announcements, based on data from the individual contracting activities.
