Follow Up Questions

Where on War.gov can I view the full list and details of the Jan. 9, 2026 contracts?Expand

The full list and details for the Jan. 9, 2026 contracts are on the Department of War’s contracts news page, under the specific item titled “Contracts for Jan. 9, 2026,” at: https://www.war.gov/News/Contracts/Contract/Article/4374773/ (also reachable by going to the War.gov “News → Contracts” section and selecting the Jan. 9, 2026 entry).

What specific contract types (goods, services, construction, etc.) are included in this posting?Expand

The Jan. 9, 2026 posting groups all Department of War contract actions of $7.5 million or more for that day, and—consistent with other daily War/Defense contract announcements—typically includes a mix of:

  • Products/goods (e.g., weapons, equipment, supplies)
  • Services (e.g., IT support, training, maintenance, research and development)
  • Construction and facilities-related work (e.g., base construction, renovation)

Without direct access to the restricted Jan. 9, 2026 page, the exact mix for that date can’t be listed, but prior and similar daily War/Defense contract releases show these same categories are routinely included together in a single daily posting.

Which office or procurement authority within the Department of War published this contracts list?Expand

The contracts list is published centrally by the Department of War’s public affairs/press office as part of its official “News – Contracts” releases, rather than by an individual buying office. The underlying contract actions are awarded by the various service and defense agencies’ contracting commands, but the compiled daily list for Jan. 9, 2026 is an official Department of War news product in the “Contracts” section of War.gov.

Does the $7.5 million threshold refer to individual awards, modifications, or aggregated contract actions?Expand

In Department of War/Defense daily contract announcements, the $7.5 million figure applies to each individual contract action being announced (for example, a new award, a large modification, or a task/delivery order) whose action value meets or exceeds the threshold. It does not represent an aggregate total for all actions that day, and smaller awards below $7.5 million are generally not listed in these daily public releases.

How can the public obtain detailed information about awardees and contract amounts (e.g., downloadable files, contact points, or FOIA procedures)?Expand

For the Jan. 9, 2026 contracts, detailed information on awardees and dollar amounts is made available in two main public ways:

  • The War.gov “Contracts for Jan. 9, 2026” article itself, which lists for each action the contractor name, location, contract number, obligated amount or ceiling value, contracting activity, and brief description.
  • Government-wide contract databases such as SAM.gov and USAspending.gov, where contract awards and modifications are posted with searchable details.

If needed, additional records (e.g., redacted contract documents) can be requested through standard Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) procedures by submitting a FOIA request to the Department of War.
