Questions about defence buyers

Who are defence buyers?
Ministries of defence, military services, armament agencies and NATO and EU agencies that buy equipment, supplies and services, from the US Defense Logistics Agency to the German BAAINBw and the Polish Agencja Uzbrojenia.
Why follow buyers rather than single tenders?
A buyer's past awards show what it buys, how often, at what value and from whom. That tells you which tenders are worth bidding and when the next one is likely.
Which buyers publish the most?
In our data the Defense Logistics Agency issues the most awards by far, followed by the US Army, Navy and Air Force. In Europe the German BAAINBw and the ministries of the Czech Republic, Romania and Poland are among the most active.
Can I get alerts for one buyer?
Yes. In a plan you can follow any buyer and the daily email lists its new notices and awards.
