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.
  • The Product and Service Code says what was bought, which is a different question from who sold it. Contracts only: an assistance award has no product code.
  • This page is built from the database rather than from the committed extract, so it covers every product or service the publisher reported and not only the largest hundred the ranking names. Both come from the same ingest on the date above.
