Startups and suppliers tagged to this sector whose defense relevance is core defense or dual use. Those with obligations since FY2023 come first, then the rest alphabetically.
Coverage
The sector total is the whole in-scope USAspending baseline (DoD, DHS, DOE and NASA, FY2008 onward): every recipient, net of de-obligations, with flood insurance and DHS disaster assistance excluded (see the methodology). The company rows below are attributed per action, to the company reported on each row, so they cover only the companies DefDex has reviewed and are a part of the total, not all of it. Subcontracts and classified work are not visible here, and fiscal year 2027 is partial.
Each award counts in one sector, set by its product or service code, then its industry code, then the company's primary sector, then the buying department. A company's primary sector comes from where most of its obligations since FY2020 sit. Companies without obligations are tagged by AI from their descriptions; see the methodology.
