Lifetime recipient totals are a separate population from complete-FY agency obligations. USAspending publishes a large prime under several recipient records whose amounts overlap without a stated rule, so these rows rank records rather than companies and must never be added together; see /methodology/#populations/.

Top 50 federal contractors

Ranked by total federal contract award amount on each recipient ID in this lifetime extract. USAspending records a large prime under more than one recipient ID, so the same company can appear several times at different levels; the Level column shows which, and these 50 rows resolve to 50 distinct company names. The amounts on those records overlap without a stated rule, so the rows are a ranking of records and never a sum.
