sum of reported source amounts

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.

Coverage varies by state and period. These records do not form a complete spending census or a national total.

State contract coverage is partial. Do not read the contract data as a national total. Coverage and vintage vary sharply by source.

Methodology

A match means the state portal's vendor name and an employer record's name agree after normalization. It is not a legal identity check: shared names can match two unrelated companies, and one real company can appear under several spellings.

State contract ingest creates an employer record for every named vendor, so a linked employer record does not always file H-1B paperwork. The employers ranking below counts only records with H-1B filings.

One vendor program can span several amendments and appear as several rows. Rows without an award amount are excluded from the largest-contracts ranking. Coverage and vintage vary sharply by state; do not read this ledger as a national total.

Methodology

Also see the California H-1B state page and the all-states contract index.
