This week in federal awards

Every Monday, the ten largest federal contract and grant actions USAspending recorded for the week just ended: the recipient, the awarding agency, the amount and the action date, each linked to its page here. An action is a new award or a modification that added money to an existing one, not a whole contract. A post is written once and kept as published. DoD contract data posts to USAspending about 90 days after award.

Why the labels? The graph is only worth anything if the links are trusted. Facts taken straight from a federal filing are Source; figures we calculate are Computed; links we infer (corporate parents, districts, similar contractors, connections between records) are Inferred, worded carefully, never asserted as fact and never a claim that one thing caused another.
