Sole-source awards are lawful and often unavoidable — one supplier, an emergency, classified work, a follow-on to a system only its builder can service. A large figure here is a fact about how the award was made, never an accusation.
Questions
- Which contractor got the most no-bid federal dollars in FY2020?
- Lockheed Martin Corporation, with $66.9B awarded without competition in FY2020.
- Is a no-bid contract illegal?
- No. Federal rules allow awards without full competition in defined circumstances, and each one is recorded with a reason code. This ranking reports the recorded dollars; it makes no claim about whether any particular award was justified.
- Where does this ranking come from?
- It is computed from USASpending.gov award records, which are U.S. government works and in the public domain. Each figure is the recipient's not-competed contract obligations for FY2020, from FPDS extent-competed codes. TheFiscalFinder does the ranking; the underlying figures are the government's own.
- How many contractors are shown?
- The top 100 for FY2020. Each row opens that contractor's own page, where the same money is broken out by year, by counterparty and by place.
- Does a high position mean anything is wrong?
- No. This is a description of where public money went in FY2020, computed from public records. It is not an allegation about anyone on it.
