Source and definitions
Source: USAspending.gov contract awards (FY2020 onward), via MatchAwards; as of October 25, 2026.
USAspending contract prime awards, award types A-D (definitive contracts, purchase orders, delivery and task orders; IDVs are excluded, their spend shows on the orders under them). NAICS = the award's naics_code; a 4-digit code covers its 6-digit codes. FY = federal fiscal year of the award's base action date; obligated = obligations to date on those awards (total_obligated_amount), so older FYs include later modifications. fy covers fy_from..n (n = the current FY, partial: true; it is still filling in, DoD reports with a ~90-day lag). The window (window totals, award size, buying months, top lists, set-aside and competition mixes, children) covers the complete FYs only (window_fys). Award size p25/median/p75: over awards with obligations > 0. Buying month = calendar month of the base action date, in fiscal order (October first). Agencies = awarding agency (sub-agency under it); recipients by UEI, no parent roll-up; ranked by obligated; pct_of_spend = share of the window's obligations, in percent. recipients (per FY and window) = distinct UEIs. A top recipient's last_action_date is the newest latest action date of its window awards (it can fall after the window: later modifications), fys_active the number of window FYs with one of its awards. set_aside and extent_competed: every type_of_set_aside / extent_competed value over the window (code and name null = not reported); an order without a set-aside of its own takes its parent IDV's (awards_from_parent_idv counts them). as_of = the newest last_modified_date in the data. Amounts are US dollars, sums rounded to the cent.
