Wow...talk about an increase in spending on MREs. I recalled having posted the contract awards a couple of years ago and found the note here:

2005 Contract Awards
http://www.mreinfo.com/news/2005/06/07/ ... ct-awards/

Looks like Ameriqual has gone up from $12 million to $170 million. I don't know if that $12 million award was for a full year, though.

Sweet Jesus, those are some Big Bucks!

You'd think they could spare some for those of us here on the board that truly enjoy them. (Kman, put the request in!)

In fact, the US army is already paying a little amount of the price of my MRE's by shipping them to Germany from where i purchase them. Shipping from Germany is a lot less than shipping from the US.

But yeah i will ofcourse also sign a request

I just found out that the $ amount shown is not totally accurate as to what the companies receive. The $ amount shown is more like a cap on what could be spent..not the actual $ amount given.
