“Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., Stratford, Conn., was awarded a $244,863,014 modification...to a previously awarded, firm-fixed-price, multi-year contract...for the procurement of UH-60M Black Hawk helicopters.”— From the Pentagon's Thursday contract announcements. Apparently the contradiction inherent in "firm-fixed-price" and a quarter-billion-dollar hike (although "modification" could be a reduction, we suppose) doesn't warrant further explanation.
