# District of Columbia State Contracts

> https://www.xh1b.org/state-contracts/dc

| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| H-1B sponsor contract records | 71,298 |
| H-1B sponsor name matches | 2,359 |
| Award amount on H-1B sponsor-matched records | $9.6B |

Vendor names are matched to employer records after normalization; a shared name can match two unrelated companies. Treat employer counts as an upper bound, not a census.

State contract ingest creates an employer record for every named vendor, so a linked employer record does not always file H-1B paperwork. Coverage and vintage vary by state; do not read this ledger as a national total.

Also see the [District of Columbia H-1B state page](https://www.xh1b.org/state/dc) and the [all-states contract index](https://www.xh1b.org/state-contracts).

## Largest contract records

One row is one source contract record with a linked recipient. This ranking includes recipients with no H-1B filings. It uses a broader population than the H-1B sponsor totals above. One vendor program can appear across amendments. Rows without an amount are not ranked.
