Federal contract awards in our records
Each row is one prime contract award on USAspending.gov; “USAspending” opens its official page.
What this table covers: every award signed in FY2024–26 that the agency coded “not competed” and that is $1 million or more, plus any award of $10 million or more (rule r5-v1). Smaller competed awards are not in it, so it is not this company’s total federal business and it cannot show a not-competed share. “Obligated to date” is the total committed on the award so far, including later modifications (USAspending, as of Oct 3, 2026), not the amount at any earlier date.
| Signed in | Non-competed awards | Obligated to date | Other awards $10M+ | Obligated to date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY2024 | 1 | $1.1M | None in this set | — |
| FY2025 | 1 | $1.2M | None in this set | — |
| FY2026incomplete | 1 | $5.6M | None in this set | — |
FY2026 is incomplete: the Department of Defense reports contract actions 90 days late, and older awards keep growing through modifications, so these amounts will rise. Source: USAspending.gov, as of Oct 3, 2026.
