Sources and method

America.co ran the same transaction search twice per fiscal year, changing only the agency grouping. We used the action date, all geographies, contract types A through D and grant or cooperative agreement types 02 through 05. We matched the results using USAspending’s agency ID and included agency rows returned on either side. The “No agency identified” row retains amounts reported without an agency ID for that role.

The figures exclude direct payments, loans, subawards and most other types of federal spending. They include increases and reductions on prime awards during the fiscal year. For cash payments, use outlays. USAspending can revise prior years as agencies report corrections. The CSV contains the same figures to the cent and leaves absent amounts blank.
