DoD Contract Announcements MCP — every US defense contract award of $7.5M+, published by the Department of War (formerly Department of Defense) on the business day it is signed.

Tools

• dod_awards_recent(days=7, service?, min_amount?, limit=25) — most recent announcements, newest first.
• dod_awards_search(query?, contractor?, since?, limit=25) — search by contractor name or description keyword; at least one of query/contractor required.
• dod_awards_top(days=30, by='contractor'|'service', limit=20) — ranks contractors or services by total award value over a window; excludes shared_award rows from the ranked total and reports them separately.
• dod_awards_coverage() — row count, earliest/latest announcement date, per-service breakdown.

Auth

None. Keyless.

Data sources

• Upstream: https://www.war.gov/News/Contracts/ (defense.gov now redirects to war.gov after the department’s rename).
• The war.gov contracts feed exposes at most the last 500 business days, so coverage cannot reach further back than that horizon.

Leading vs. lagging record

This is the leading record of a defense contract award — it is announced the day the contract is signed, weeks before the same award appears in FPDS/USAspending. Use this pack for “what was awarded today/this week.” Use the usaspending pack for the lagging, fully structured, cross-referenced historical record (recipient hierarchy, NAICS, place of performance, obligated-vs-outlayed dollars).

Data caveats

• shared_award: true means the row came from a multiple-award paragraph — amount is the combined program value across all named contractors, not any single contractor’s share. dod_awards_top excludes these from ranked totals by default and reports them separately.
• amount_is_ceiling: true means the source described the figure as a “maximum,” “not-to-exceed,” or “estimated” value — not a guaranteed obligation.
• contract_number is null on roughly 1% of rows.
• completion_date is the source’s own free text (e.g. “Aug. 27, 2032”), not a normalized date.
