The Department of Defense announced nine defense contracts Monday, worth $424.8 million in aggregate. Of these, the largest award went to a handful of non-publicly traded, federally defined "small business" and "woman owned small business" defense contractors, hired to do maintenance, repair, supply work for the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency. A few publicly traded companies did, however, win contracts. Among them:

The estimated completion date for this work is Nov. 26, 2018.
