Certifications and business types

Federal contract history
| Fiscal year | Prime contract obligations |
|---|---|
| FY2024 | $12,186 |
| FY2025 | -$35,717 |
| FY2026 (incomplete) | $20,640 |
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.
A negative year means cuts to older contracts (de-obligations, often when work finishes under budget or is descoped) took off more than new awards added.

Subcontract work reported by primes
Prime contractors reported 10 subcontracts to it worth about $1.1 million in the last five years, according to USAspending.gov. Primes only have to report subcontracts of $40,000 or more (since October 1, 2025; $30,000 before that), so smaller jobs are missing. Amounts are net of any cuts primes reported. None of this is in the prime contract figures.
