EDITOR'S NOTE: This story has been updated to remove the Rapid Reaction Support for the Warfighter contract while more information is verified.
Our roundup of the 20 largest defense contracts is a showcase of military IT needs for the next 18 months.
Many of the contracts are recompetes, with market research firm Input identifying only two as new procurements.
All are in the prerequest for proposals stage, and Input expects agencies and military services to start issuing RFPs this month.
The contracts cover a range of services, from basic IT to advanced science and engineering. A common thread among several contracts is the military's need for a rapid response from contractors.
We ranked the contracts according to their ceiling, not by the amount of work they are expected to generate. We created this list using Input's contract database.
