How to read these records

The record

Every federal contract is published on USAspending.gov. This site keeps the companies that received between $500,000 and $60 million in contract obligations over the last twelve months — the mid-size contractors — with their Unique Entity ID, headquarters, size category and parent company.

Status

Received federal contract obligations in the last 12 months. Amounts are obligations over the last twelve months on the collection date, not revenue and not a ranking. Larger and smaller contractors are not on this site. What the federal file says about a company's owner (origin, sex, veteran status) is not shown.

What is not here

Individuals, and any name without a company word (Inc, LLC, Corp, Co…). Owner and contact names, phone numbers and mailing addresses, which this site never downloads.
