Lockheed Martin Corporation was the largest holder of U.S. federal contracts in FY2026 (data still posting), with $54.5B in contract-coded obligations. Ranked by contract-coded (NAICS) obligations, so entitlement grants routed through state agencies do not crowd out the primes. Combined corporate families count once. Computed
Ranked from USASpending records. FY2020 to FY2026 are loaded. FY2026 ended on September 30, 2026, and its records are still posting, so each total is shown beside the same name's FY2025 figure, with no percentage change. Rank vs FY2025 is each name's change in position from FY2025, and positions can still move as late FY2026 records post; a dash means the name was not in FY2025's data.

Questions
- Who is the largest federal contractor in FY2026?
- Lockheed Martin Corporation, with $54.5B in contract-coded obligations in FY2026 (data still posting), ahead of RTX Corporation at $32.7B.
- Why are big grant recipients missing from this list?
- This ranks CONTRACT dollars only. Universities, states and health systems receive enormous federal ASSISTANCE, which is ranked separately at /rankings/top-grant-recipients so neither list crowds out the other.
- 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 contract-coded obligations for FY2026 (data still posting). TheFiscalFinder does the ranking; the underlying figures are the government's own.
- How many contractors are shown?
- The top 100 for FY2026 (data still posting). 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 FY2026 (data still posting), computed from public records. It is not an allegation about anyone on it.
