Sources: [SAM.gov/FPDS](http://sam.gov/FPDS) FY2023 all-federal contract obligations, supplemented with FY2024 DoD data from Defense Security Monitor and Washington Technology Top 100.
FY2023 because it’s the latest complete all-agency dataset publicly available. Subsidiaries rolled up under parent companies. I handle the sector labels; some companies straddle categories.
What’s missing: Classified spending, subcontracts, and IT reseller pass-through. AWS and Palo Alto sell billions to gov through aggregators like Carahsoft, so their prime contract numbers are way understated.
Tools: HTML/CSS, Puppeteer for export.
By contract dollar value. Value is rather harder to measure.
Peace through power type of contracts
I think Leidos and SAIC are also essentially defense. Just defense IT. Also booz Allen Hamilton and Honeywell are probably adjacent as well. Lots of money in defense.
UHG getting 17 billion.
Meanwhile, my triple CABG that Mayo insists I need was denied as not medically necessary, and currently in appeal status. With, you guessed it, UHG.
I love my tax money going to the companies that will lobby to make my life worse
The chart title is correct but your post title is misleading – Walmart would be around 4th on the list based on how much SNAP money gets spent there (Google tells me it’s about 25% of all snap payments which is around $25bn.)
Kroger and Costco would also be on the list with $5-10bn
What possible reason would Trump have to start a war? No reason at all.
RTX is much better known by its former name, Raytheon.
“we don’t have enough money to feed our children or address our third world levels of infant and maternal mortality … but we have INFINITE money to surveil our citizens, equip our untrained gestapo, and provide infinite genocide bombs to the world’s biggest apartheid terror state”
Absolutely insane to see war stock, war stock, war stock.. United Health Group.
Wtaf.
I had to look up to see what RTX was – merged Raytheon and United Technologies.

So much money for warfare. The most ugly thing about humanity.
