Follow Up Questions

What details are included in the contract listings (awarded contractors, contract amounts, descriptions)?Expand

DoD-style daily contract announcements typically list the awarded contractor(s) name(s); the dollar value of the award or modification; a short description of the goods/services; the contract number; the contracting activity (which office made the award); location(s) of performance; estimated completion date; and funding/fiscal-year and procurement type information. (Some entries also note if the award is a sole-source, set-aside, or contains options.)

How can I view the full contract notices on War.gov (direct link or search steps)?Expand

Use the direct URL in the article (https://www.war.gov/News/Contracts/Contract/Article/4389804/contracts-for-jan-26-2026/). Alternatively, go to the site’s Contracts landing page (War.gov News → Contracts) and navigate by date or use the site search for “Contracts Jan. 26, 2026.” If War.gov blocks access, the Department of Defense’s Contracts page (defense.gov/News/Contracts) provides the same daily contract notices.

Is the $7.5 million threshold a standard cutoff for public posting, and who sets that threshold?Expand

Yes — the $7.5 million threshold reflects the DoD practice of announcing contract actions of $7.5 million or more in daily contract releases; that threshold is set by Department of Defense/DoD public affairs/press procedures, consistent with federal reporting practices.

What is the "Department of War" — is it the same as the U.S. Department of Defense or a different agency?Expand

The “Department of War” label in this article appears to be a site-specific naming convention; the content and release format match U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) contract announcements. The U.S. federal agency responsible for these contract listings is the Department of Defense (Defense.gov).

Why do the metadata fields show "author=None" and "source=None" — does the site publish a separate office or author?Expand

If metadata shows author=None and source=None it means no individual author or external source was credited in the feed item; DoD/agency daily contract posts are typically produced by a press office or automated feed and often publish with no byline. This is common for routine government announcement feeds.

What does "is_perma_link: 'false'" mean for the guid link's permanence and reliability?Expand

is_perma_link: 'false' in the guid attributes indicates the RSS/guid value is not guaranteed to be a permanent URL; it’s an identifier for the feed item rather than a stable permalink. The posted link itself (the page URL) is still the reference to use; but a guid marked non-permanent means the feed GUID shouldn’t be relied on as an eternal stable link.
