Department of War posts contracts of $7.5 million or more for Jan. 14, 2026

You can view the full list on the Department of War’s official website at the specific contracts page for that day: https://www.war.gov/News/Contracts/Contract/Article/4379809/contracts-for-jan-14-2026/ . You can also reach it by going to the War.gov News → Contracts section and selecting the Jan. 14, 2026 entry, which is also linked from the Department’s main News page on Defense.gov under “Contracts for Jan. 14, 2026.”

Each Department of War / Defense daily contracts announcement follows a standard format similar to other recent days’ releases. For each contract (or contract modification), entries typically include:

• Contractor name and location
• Contract type (e.g., firm-fixed-price, cost-plus-fixed-fee, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity)
• Brief description of the work or supplies being procured
• Award amount (or not-to-exceed/ceiling value, and if options are included, potential maximum value)
• Funding source(s) and fiscal year (e.g., “Fiscal 2024 operation and maintenance (Navy) funds”)
• Place of performance (where the work will be carried out)
• Expected completion or performance end date
• Number of offers received and whether it was competitively procured
• Contracting activity/office and contract number(s)
• Note on whether funds will expire at the end of the fiscal year

Recent War/Defense contract announcements show this structure and level of detail for each listing.

The $7.5 million threshold is an internal Department of Defense/War communications policy, not a statutory rule. The Department states that “U.S. Department of Defense [War] contracts valued at $7.5 million or more are announced each business day at 5 p.m.” This cutoff is used to limit the daily public contract summaries to larger awards that are most consequential in dollar terms, while many smaller contracts are still publicly available in procurement databases but not highlighted in these daily press-style announcements.

The Department states that its contracts valued at $7.5 million or more “are announced each business day at 5 p.m.” on its Contracts page. In practice, this means contract announcements are published on War.gov (and linked from Defense.gov’s News section) on every business day when such awards occur, with the daily post titled “Contracts for [date].”

These daily “Contracts for [date]” posts are announcements of contracts that have already been awarded (or of modifications/options to existing awards), not solicitations. The text and structure of typical entries describe the winning contractor, the amount being obligated, contract type, and how the contract was procured (e.g., “this contract was competitively procured via SAM.gov, with X offers received”), which indicates they are post‑award notices rather than requests for proposals or bid solicitations.
