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 V1NUDAVNFVK1, 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 Navy ($13.8 million), Department of the Army ($3.9 million), Department of the Air Force ($1.8 million), Office of Procurement Operations ($202,360) and Missile Defense Agency ($500).

Subcontract work reported by primes

Prime contractors reported 10 subcontracts to it worth about $11.9 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.
