Federal contract history
| Fiscal year | Obligated, prime contracts |
|---|---|
| FY2024 | $1.8 million |
| FY2025 | $1.9 million |
| FY2026 (incomplete) | $3.9 million |
FY2026 is still incomplete and will rise until about early January 2027 as Defense data arrives: USAspending.gov publishes Defense contracts 90 days after they're signed.
These are every prime contract USAspending.gov records under UEI XCDRBUPW2EK3, from its award search. For a company that is part of a parent company, USAspending's recipient page can show a different figure for a year, because it counts the company's own record and its parent's record separately.
Its biggest federal customers since fiscal year 2024: Department of the Air Force ($7.6 million) and Missile Defense Agency ($500).
