How this ranking works

  • Source: every contract action FPDS records (as published on SAM.gov) in the period, as GovTribe received it.
  • Amounts are net obligations: what was obligated, less what was deobligated. Shares are of $9.01 billion obligated before deobligations, so they never pass 100%.
  • Parent companies: each action counts under the ultimate parent its award record names, or under the awardee when it names none, so no dollar counts twice. An awardee whose own actions mostly name no parent, and that no other company's actions name as their parent, rolls up its SAM.gov registration's chain of parent companies: it counts under the first company there that other companies' actions name as their parent, or under the parent most of a company's own actions name, whichever comes first; with neither, under the highest company in the chain with federal contracts of its own. Joint ventures stay companies of their own. Parents of the same name (Inc., LLC and the like aside) count as one company, since FPDS records a company's parent under more than one UEI over time. GovTribe corrects a few parents and names by hand; see the corrections.
  • Period: the trailing 12 months end with the last month that ended at least 90 days ago, because the Department of Defense reports its contract actions to FPDS about 90 days late. The list is rebuilt each night.
  • Rank changes compare with Aug 2024–Jul 2025. "New" marks a company outside that period's top 500, and "Returned" one of those that was on an earlier fiscal year's list.
  • Rank lines show each company's rank on every fiscal year's list since FY2021, #1 at the top, on a scale that gives the top of the list more room. A dashed stretch spans years it wasn't on the list.
  • Placeholder recipients FPDS uses when it names no company ("Miscellaneous Foreign Contractors" and the like) aren't ranked.
