Field notes
Each entry pairs an agency name with a concrete procurement object and a short explanation of its operating purpose. The visible examples range from oral vaccine baits capped at 6,965,000 units to a mobile classroom that simulates extinguisher training, a heated door, and a smoking barbecue. The publication also offers a Friday digest containing five items, with no indication that an account or payment is required for the public stories.
