Who won July's biggest contracts?

July continued the trend of increasing contract awards that Washington Technology has covered since the beginning of the year. Who stole the show this month?

July continues the streak of a rising number of contract awards that Washington Technology has covered since the beginning of the year. 

In terms of contract values, July was a little more modest than June; to make July’s list, you had to have a contract worth $138 million or above, as opposed to June’s $316 million.

Washington Technology covered 62 awards in July, and while it beat out the 61 in June by just one contract, it’s still a significant increase over the 52 in May, the 45 in April, the 30 in March, and the 13 in February.

Interestingly, only three of the top 10 are multiple award contracts, and one of those involves only two winners.

So, starting at No. 10, the countdown begins:
