Adding in October’s total of $598,136,369 in contracts, the tally for 2020, with two months still to count, stands at $2,789,378,636. The 10-month total represents a 397 percent increase over the $560,736,375 awarded during the same timeframe in 2019.

Nine government agencies handed out jobs to round out October’s impressive amount. In contrast, September delivered the year’s lowest so far, with only $52,852,545 in awards.

Nan Inc. had landed three contracts in October worth $114,736,624. The two largest jobs for Nan involve military projects: $75,527,000 for work at the Hawaii State Veterans Home and $30,867,340 to repair Building 502 at Fort Shafter.
