Recipients (UEIs) tied to this company

Each action counts for the company USAspending reported on that row, so a subsidiary's dollars count for Cambrian Works only for the period it reported Cambrian Works 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.
