How much did the military spend yesterday? $1.3 billion

A half billion dollars will be split among 14 defense contractors on a hybrid contract for “project, program and portfolio management; business, cost estimating and financial management; life cycle logistics (integrated product support) systems engineering; business analytics; information technology; facilitation, education and training; and technical editor, writing and illustration; and physical security operations.” Meaning that we don't really know what this money will be spent on, or where the work will be done. But we do know the Army is spending it.

We also know the Defense Logistics Agency is spending $48 million for fruits and vegetables over a four-year period. In addition to various branches of the armed forces, the USDA schools will be consuming this food.
