Who won February's biggest contracts?

February saw a drop in contracts, which was to be expected due to the shortness of the month, but some big contracts were still awarded. Who made the list this time around?

February saw an anticipated drop in contract awards due to the shortness of the month.

Washington Technology covered 33 awards during February, compared to 38 in January.

However, February 2015 also fell short when compared to February 2014’s 43 awards, continuing a trend that began last month when January 2015’s 38 contract awards paled in comparison to January 2014’s 53 awards.

To make the top 10 list in February, you had to have won a contract worth more than $78.5 million. In January, it was $67.7 million.

The top prize this month was head and shoulders over the rest and represents a trend we are seeing of companies making a push into international markets since the U.S. federal contracting landscape has been rocky the past couple of years.

The month was a good month for SAIC, who holds two spots on our Top 10, but was especially good for Lockheed Martin, who holds three.
