"The Pentagon spent more than $2.7 billion on 'miscellaneous items' in 2008 for which the contractor was listed as 'not available' — a rare omission for Defense Department documentation — according to an Aerospace DAILY analysis of an independent national database of government contracting data. ... In many cases the transactions also fail to clearly show what the money was spent on. ... Altogether, Pentagon miscellaneous-item expenses tallied about $7 billion in 2008, making that the eighth highest Defense Departure expenditure item for the year, the Aerospace DAILY analysis showed. This marks the first time that 'miscellaneous items' has cracked the list of top 20 Pentagon expenses this decade. ... Not only did the 'not available' contractors account for 38 percent of the total amount of money the Pentagon designated for miscellaneous-item expenses, but the unnamed companies also accounted for 85 percent of the 7,590 category transactions."
