Both: the posting includes both new awards and contract modifications. Examples: Tessera and Filius awards are presented as new awards/IDIQs; TriPoint and Filius were competitively awarded or direct awards; several entries (Lockheed Martin Space, Raytheon, Manson, BAE, Kongsberg, Vectrus, HRL) are explicitly listed as contract modifications to previously awarded contracts. Each entry in the War.gov notice specifies whether it is an original award or a modification.
The full contract listings and supporting text are on the Department�of�War "Contracts" page for Jan. 27, 2026 at the URL in the notice (the War.gov Contracts page and the specific article URL). If War.gov access is blocked, the same press release is distributed via Public/EBs and often mirrored by news aggregators.

The $7.5 million reporting threshold is the Department�of�War/DoD practice to publish contract awards valued at $7.5 million or more each business day at 5 p.m.; that threshold aligns with internal agency disclosure policy (DoD press guidance) rather than the $25,000 and $750,000 thresholds used elsewhere (e.g., Federal Acquisition Regulation reporting and USAspending). The War.gov site states contracts valued at $7.5M+ are announced daily. (The specific statutory/regulatory origin of that $7.5M threshold is not stated on the posting.)
In this posting "Department of War" is the agency branding used on War.gov (the site that publishes daily contract notices); it appears to be the department-level name used in these 2025–2026 postings (replacing "Department of Defense" in the site branding). Historically the U.S. national security department is the Department of Defense; the War.gov site uses "Department of War" in its masthead and press distribution. The press release itself identifies contracting activities (Air Force, Army, Navy, DARPA, etc.), which are the familiar DoD components.
To request more information or file a protest: follow the contact and contracting‑activity details listed for each award in the War.gov posting (each entry names the contracting activity and contract number). For formal protests of federal procurements use the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) bid protest process or the court of federal claims; contracting‑activity contact information on the award notice is the first point of contact. Useful links: War.gov article URL for specifics, GAO bid protest filing instructions, and SAM.gov/FPDS for award data.
