These figures are calculated, not copied from the source. They use 833150 money records in the sample. Percent vs average = (this − mean of qualified hubs) / |mean| × 100. Similar hubs = 4 nearest by log10(|obligation|) and log10(award_count). HHI = sum of squared |obligation| shares × 10,000 among recipients in this cell.

Questions this page can answer
Read the money with its boundaries intact
What does the amount represent?
It is the summed federal contract obligation observed in the labelled USAspending sample and period—not a complete government-spending total.
Who awarded and received it?
Use agency names, recipient identifiers, fiscal year and transaction counts together; names alone can merge unrelated entities.
Can two figures be compared?
Only compare figures built from the same sample, period and measure, with the record count visible.
What should I check next?
Open USAspending for the current complete record before relying on a figure.
