What this data cannot show
- 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.
- NAICS says what industry the seller is in, not what was bought. Contracts only: grants, loans and direct payments carry no industry code.
- This page covers every industry the publisher reported and not only the largest hundred the ranking names. Both come from the same download of the publisher’s data, on the date above.
