This lists abstracts of unclassified Department of Defense contracts involving weapons of mass destruction and related technology, for research, design, production and support services as well as for WMD counterproliferation and disassembly in the former Soviet Union and counter-terrorism. Although classified contracts are not public, their likely overlap with unclassified offers an indirect glimpse of the top secret WMD world.
The list was obtained from a search of the DoD's news archive under subcategory of "contracts:"

Nuclear and special weapons contracts involve the Defense Nuclear Agency and its successor the Defense Special Weapons Agency, while the counterproliferation, WMD disassembly and counter-terrorism contracts are by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency.
William Arkin wrote in The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, September/October 1996, Vol. 52, No. 5:
http://www.thebulletin.org/issues/1996/so96/so96arkin.htmlThe Special Weapons Umbrella
In June, the Defense Nuclear Agency (DNA), the oldest of the defense agencies, was renamed the Defense Special Weapons Agency (DSWA). Though it seems back to the future for an organization begun in 1947 as the Armed Forces Special Weapons Project, the agency assumes an alias to insure its very survival.
"Pure response to market forces," one insider said. "The defense leadership no longer wanted an agency whose name solely connoted nuclear weapons."
DSWA's multi-function nuclear mission--stockpile management, effects testing, and arms control and verification support--continues as the core, while non-nuclear work on "advanced" conventional weapons chases after the future. Yet it is an odd bureaucratic function of the agency as a contracting organization that is most valuable to political appointees, generals, and admirals. DSWA will continue DNA's legacy of providing patronage for a host of political and technical "studies," a financier now renewed to dabble in an even broader set of issues.
Sensing a crisis at the end of the Cold War, Congress asked in 1993 what DNA's future should be. A high-level review group was formed, and the Defense Science Board and Rand Corporation scrutinized the state of Defense's nuclear competence. Both cautioned that with the armed services reducing their nuclear cadres, there was a danger of further erosion and fragmenting of expertise.
Nuclear concerns saved DNA from possible elimination, but in truth the savings that would result from chopping the agency turned out to be only a few million annually, because DNA dispersed more than 90 percent of its budget to private industry and contractors. Los Alamos and Livermore Laboratories maintain their expertise in-house, but DNA doled out funds to a habitual few: JAYCOR, Kaman Sciences, Logicon RDA, Mission Research Corporation, Pacific Sierra, and Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), among others. Twenty-five contracts awarded to SAIC alone from October 1992June 1994 totaled $74 million. Even if much of the work is justified, DNA is notorious for its ties to these as well as other like-minded "beltway bandits"--nuclear advocates who wait like baby birds for the annual regurgitation.
DNA assumed the role of godfather in the wake of government "reforms" to tighten controls over the number of individuals and agencies able to spend the defense budget. The awarding of new contracts was made more difficult and time consuming. With competitive bids required, small organizations were truly put at a disadvantage, particularly given the amount of paperwork needed to apply for government grants. When it came to studies, those most put out were one- and two-year political appointees and military officials needing "research" to press their ideas. For them, the gravity and value of an idea is often equated with the throw-weight of paper.
Enter the umbrella contract -- officially called "master agreements" -- retainers for paper warriors to remain in reserve awaiting recall for the next bureaucratic battle. "Sort of the equivalent of our industrial policy for producing nuclear submarines," joked a former beltway bandit now working in the Pentagon. "DNA keeps the production base 'warm' just in case a flurry of studies is needed."
DNA has at least 15 master agreements with a dozen contractors, including obscure boutique "think tanks" ready to give whatever answer is needed to empire-building policy-makers. All of these are in addition to the four "federally funded" research and development centers--Rand, Center for Naval Analysis, Logistics Management Institute, and Institute for Defense Analysis--given a total of $200 million-plus annually to conduct "studies and analyses." The Defense Science Board task force, supportive of DNA, did criticize the agency for clinging too doggedly "to problems whose ultimate solution remained, for purely technical reasons, out of reach." In other words, pet projects such as high-power microwaves, directed-energy weapons, and unconventional exotica. Such engineering research was always justified under the agency's broad mission, and will undoubtedly get a boost under DSWA.
But when it came to paper research, the board and Rand were silent, unwilling to question the value of studies, or to challenge the system. It is a situation no different than the non-profit world, where people bitch about the foundations, captive nonetheless to their bread and butter. A Rand scientist involved in the review could merely offer this judgment: "Scratch the surface of any agency or funder and you'll find nonsense."
Nonsense will no doubt proliferate under DSWA, with its faddish and redundant importuning at the new altar of counterproliferation. A more consequential danger is that as nuclear work fades farther into the unsupervised shadows, public funding for increasingly marginalized hawks and right-wingers will increase. DSWA could thus fail to carry out its primary mission, while serving as a slush fund for projects that can't pass muster with other agencies or the services. The office of the Secretary of Defense and the Joint Staff meanwhile remain passive, especially when DSWA serves as the conduit for them to funnel money to their favorite "consultants."
In all honesty, I should say that I even worked a few years back as a subcontractor for a DNA-sponsored project relating to the Gulf War. Now if that doesn't prove how screwed up the agency is, nothing does.
