There are a few good trade rags out there which you should with regularity. Government Acquisitions and one called Procurement something or other... All companies bidding or winning contracts from small to large acquisitions list there. I’m no longer in the mode so I am a bit rusty as to the in and out of keeping informed. Perhaps a reliable financial contact could help with the current trade rags. Try Clark Howard or perhaps Kudlow websites for info as well.

**************

Be careful drawing conclusions from sources like this. Companies often win government contracts that are of uncertain value (i.e., multiple award, indefinite deliver and indefinite quantity vehicles, task order contracts, etc). The potential value may be much higher than the amount earned over the life of the contract. And contracts can be terminated by the government.

On the other side of the coin, a smart contractor knows how to “grow” the contract so as to make even more money than the contract was originally awarded for.

All that said, a lot of contracts wins is generally a good sign. The more the better.
