Armed forces deal
A military contract is a formal agreement between a government and a private company to supply goods or services for defense purposes—weapons systems, vehicles, equipment, construction, or support operations.
The term often appears in discussions of defense spending and the relationships between governments and arms manufacturers: The company won a military contract worth billions.
Military contractors range from massive defense corporations to small specialized suppliers.
