Raytheon subcontracted with the small business Sonju Industrial to build missile components. See an article here. Sonju Industrial is a small business and will partner with Raytheon through the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) mentor-protege program. The contract will allow significant growth of Sonju Industrial. This is another example of how defense dollars flow to every part of the US and their significance to the nation’s economy.
DoD buys some vegetables

In a contact that is an example of several things, Adams Brothers Produce of Montgomery, AL won a contract worth $7 M or so to provide fruits and vegetables. See the story here. This shows that DoD buys small things, big things, cheap and expensive things. It didn’t say if these were for the Defense Commissary Service, or to be served to troops. The other thing about this contract is that it is a small business set aside. That means only certain companies can bid on it. So in the name of social engineering, DoD may not always get the best value for its money.
