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.
  • Contracts only. This is deliberate: ranked on all award types together, the top of the county table is almost entirely direct payments recorded against a place, which is a different thing from work bought there. Contracts are the instrument for which place of performance means what it sounds like.
  • Place of performance is where the recipient said the work would be carried out. A contractor headquartered elsewhere that performs on a base reports the base’s county, and a contract performed across several counties is reported against the one the recipient recorded.
  • This table is what the committed extract holds, which is the largest counties in the country together with the largest in each state. Past its first rows it is therefore not a national ranking, and the counties on it are not the counties on the all-award-types table. Every county the publisher reports has its own page.
