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.

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.
