The announced $500 million Production OTA is a ceiling, not obligations; larger Space Force and Air Force values come from aggregators and are not recorded. Observed baseline contract obligations on exact UEIs (summary generation 20261018T193655Z, source data through 2026-10-06; gross positive, by awarding department): DOD $1,422,198 (2019-2025); DOE $1,750,000 (2025-2026). Not a company-wide total.
C3 AI supplier roles
Roles are cited research, not award totals: a payment basis names the kind of money the evidence supports, and a missing amount is unknown, not zero. Browse all government suppliers.

Each action counts for the company USAspending reported on that row, so a subsidiary's dollars count for C3 AI only for the period it reported C3 AI as its parent. Net of de-obligations; these are obligations, not ceilings. They come from the whole USAspending baseline (every recipient size, contracts and assistance) and are a separate view from the curated contract totals on this page. Fiscal year 2027 is partial.
