Matched Award Examples (1,866,644 matched actions in the archive)

These examples come from the 16 transaction records with the largest reported award totals. We group up to eight awards and show each award's actions, newest first. This sample is not a ranking of all distinct awards.

How award totals and action amounts are counted

The block total is that award's obligated total as of its most recent action on record (USAspending's own figure, not a sum over the rows). An action amount can be negative: a de-obligation. The hub totals and the agency and state tables sum per-action obligations, so a multi-action award contributes each action once.
