Calculation Methodology

Contract values are summed from documented money flow chains where this entity appears as a source or destination node. Amounts are drawn from USASpending.gov, FEC filings, SEC EDGAR, or LD-2 lobbying registrations.

Donor contributions aggregate documented amounts from the donor_interests table, sourced from FEC individual and PAC contribution filings.

Connected officials are elected officials in our database with a mapped relationship (lobbying, board membership, campaign contribution, etc.) to this entity.

Annualised flow represents the total documented dollar amount traced through money flow hops involving this entity. Where hop-level amounts are unavailable, the chain-level documented total is used as a conservative upper bound.

All figures are drawn from public filings. Estimates are conservative — undisclosed transactions, dark money, and vanish-point hops are excluded from totals. This is a minimum documented floor, not a ceiling.

← US Navy institution
Data Reporting Anomaly primary since 2026
As of April 7, 2026, searches for "US Navy" on the federal procurement database USASpending.gov returned no contract results. This is because Navy contracts are organized under official designations like 'Department of the Navy' and specific commands (e.g., NAVFAC, NAVSEA, SPAWAR), rather than the colloquial institutional name. This discrepancy can lead to systematic underreporting of the Navy's contractor relationships in research using the common term.
