Questions
- Who is the largest federal contractor in FY2024?
- Lockheed Martin Corporation, with $51B in contract-coded obligations in FY2024, ahead of The Boeing Company at $23.7B.
- 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 FY2024. TheFiscalFinder does the ranking; the underlying figures are the government's own.
- How many contractors are shown?
- The top 100 for FY2024. 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 FY2024, computed from public records. It is not an allegation about anyone on it.
