Table 1 - This table covers awards for Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT and E) services. Data are displayed according to DoD procurement program categories. Table 2 - Data on awards for Other Services and Construction are provided in Table 2, arrayed according to Federal Procurement Data System codes and descriptions. This structure, which covers all non-RDT and E services, is composed of 23 groups and approximately 1 500 individual classes.
