Source: public Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) records via USASpending.gov, pulled Nov 8, 2026. Included: new federal contracts and task/delivery orders (not later modifications) under NAICS 561612, base award date Nov 8, 2025 – Aug 10, 2026, award amount $25,000 or more, place of performance in New Jersey. The Defense Department publishes contract data 90 days late, so this covers awards through Aug 10, 2026 for every agency; later awards are added as DoD's data posts. Obligated so far is the money the agency has committed to the award to date, as recorded in FPDS; it is not the full potential value, and multi-year contracts are often funded one year at a time. Small business = the small-business designation recorded on that award in FPDS. Winner HQ is the recipient address on the award. Some winners are sole proprietors registered under their own name; that is how they appear in FPDS. Agencies add funding and options over time, so open the linked USASpending record before relying on any single figure.
