They are on the War.gov “Contracts” page at https://www.war.gov/News/Contracts/. On that page, select “Contracts For Jan. 6, 2026” (or go directly to https://www.war.gov/News/Contracts/Contract/Article/4371691/) to see the full list of that day’s contract awards.
The $7.5 million threshold applies to the value of each individual contract action, not to the day’s awards in aggregate. The War/Defense Department explains that “contracts valued at $7.5 million or more are announced each business day at 5 p.m.,” and daily listings show multiple separate awards, each above that threshold, rather than one combined total.
The “Department of War” referenced here is the U.S. cabinet‑level department that runs the U.S. armed forces (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Space Force, Coast Guard, and related commands). War.gov’s own About page describes it as America’s largest government agency whose mission is “to provide the military forces needed to deter war and ensure our nation’s security,” which is the same mission long associated with the Department of Defense; historically, the modern Defense Department grew out of the earlier War Department created in 1789.
They are published on business days, with the site stating that “contracts valued at $7.5 million or more are announced each business day at 5 p.m.” The Contracts page then lists a separate item for each business day’s awards (e.g., “Contracts For Jan. 6, 2026,” “Contracts For Jan. 5, 2026,” etc.).
Each listed contract is presented as a narrative paragraph but typically includes: (1) contractor name and location; (2) total contract or modification value and contract type (e.g., firm‑fixed‑price, cost‑plus‑fixed‑fee, indefinite‑delivery/indefinite‑quantity); (3) a short description of the work or services; (4) primary work locations and expected completion date or period of performance; (5) funding source and amount obligated at award (fiscal year and appropriation); (6) basic competition information (e.g., number of offers); and (7) the contracting activity and contract number.
Additional documents or detailed records for a listed contract are generally obtained through the federal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) by requesting them from the Defense/War Department component that awarded or administers the contract (such as a military department or the Defense Logistics Agency). DoD’s FOIA rules in 32 C.F.R. Part 286 and component FOIA pages (e.g., DLA and DCMA FOIA sites) explain that requests must reasonably describe the records sought and be submitted in writing (often via online portals, email, or mail) to the appropriate FOIA office.
