Who won January's biggest contracts?

We saw a drop in contract awards to kick off 2015 with Washington Technology covering 38 awards during January, compared to 59 in December.

January 2015 also falls short when compared to January 2014 when we saw 53 awards announced.

But this is just the beginning of the year, so there is plenty of time to make up lost ground.

To make the top 10 list in January, you had to have won a contract worth more than $67.7 million. In December it was $113 million. And the top prize this month went to a company that to fight for the contract via a bid protest, but it's a whopper at $2.5 billion.
