Sources and method

Figures on this page are computed from public federal award records. Numbers are never estimated or generated; where a figure is withheld, the reason is stated rather than filled in.

This page is a record of one federal award, assembled from the transactions the government published against it. Note 1 describes where the rollup came from. Values are award values, not unit prices.

  1. 1Rollup values derive from 97 transaction records parsed from USAspending.gov, retrieved Sep 10, 2026 by transform awards@2026.08.1.
  2. 2Obligations are the sum of signed federal action obligations across all transactions; deobligations are negative and remain negative.
  3. 3Current and potential award values are taken from the latest reported action, not summed across modifications.
