Hot summer days are a good time to sit in the A/C and mine some data. Last week we wrote about the Federal Supply Classes where DLA is spending the most money. Over the next few weeks we’re going to analyze some of these vertical markets to see what items are making the most money.
Below are the top 20 line items in FSC 1560 for all of 2024. Number of offers data lags a few months so we couldn’t do the first 6 months of 2025.
