Other contract types are likely FAR procurements and not subject to it. NASA's lawyers may beg to differ, but they can all correct me. There are also provisions for legally required disbursements and other exemptions, so things like mission ops and other activities may be still allowed, hard to tell

Methodology: used all contracts from FY 2022 - 2025 downloaded from NASA's Procurement Data View database. Analyzed all Award Types for those matching "Grant" or "Cooperative Agreement" (the most likely ones subject to the freeze).

I would cite all medium-large scale newspapers acquired by private equity firms in the past 15 years, notably Alden Global Capital's treatment of the Denver Post or LA Times under Sam Zell/Tribune Co.
