Obligations are the dollars the agency committed, which is not the same as dollars paid out. A recipient can appear on several agencies' lists; each ranks only its own money.
Questions
- Who is the Department of Defense's biggest contractor in FY2022?
- Lockheed Martin Corporation, with $45.2B obligated in FY2022. Second is RTX Corporation at $22.9B.
- 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 total the Department of Defense obligated to that recipient in FY2022. TheFiscalFinder does the ranking; the underlying figures are the government's own.
- How many recipients are shown?
- The top 100 for FY2022. Each row opens that recipient'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 FY2022, computed from public records. It is not an allegation about anyone on it.
