Largest federal awards
This list ranks listed companies by the size of new federal contract awards over the past 12 months, using each award's start date and public records from USAspending.gov. It does not include companies without a US listing, and it does not measure profit or the money actually spent under each award. The list is recomputed automatically as new awards are published.

Limits commonly cited
Why this kind of filing says little on its own. Not our view.
- Critics note that award size says little about profit, since margins on government work vary.
- Critics note that awards can be changed, delayed or cancelled, and money obligated is not the same as money spent.
- Risks often raised include that one large award can dominate the list and reflect timing more than a trend.
