313 thousand dollars — that's what USDA paid Saturday to drop sterile fruit flies over Reynosa, Mexico.

The recipient, Aerodescargas Fronterizas, is a Mexican charter air freight firm — the task order covers aerial release of sterilized insects, a standard tactic for eradicating the Mexican fruit fly before it crosses the border.

Saturday's total federal spend was just 464 thousand across 16 transactions, a near-total collapse from Friday's 529 million; weekends run light. USDA alone accounted for 492 thousand of it, with the rest going to small-arms ammunition from International Cartridge, and software from Carahsoft.
