What this data cannot show

  • The fiscal year is not over. These are obligations recorded so far, and a figure here is not comparable with a full year.
  • An obligation is a binding commitment to pay, not money paid. Outlays are reported separately and the two are never equal in the same year.
  • An account is where the money was charged, which is a budgeting fact rather than a description of what was bought. Award obligations only: an account also carries spending that never becomes a federal award.
  • This page is built from the database rather than from the committed extract, so it covers every federal account the publisher reported and not only the largest hundred the ranking names. Both come from the same ingest on the date above.
