Questions

Who is NASA's biggest contractor in FY2025?
California Institute of Technology, with $2.4B obligated in FY2025. Second is Space Exploration Technologies Corp. at $2.1B.
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 NASA obligated to that recipient in FY2025. TheFiscalFinder does the ranking; the underlying figures are the government's own.
How many recipients are shown?
The top 100 for FY2025. 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 FY2025, computed from public records. It is not an allegation about anyone on it.
