Direct is the company's own reviewed UEIs. Reported by USAspending is subsidiaries as reported by USAspending: recipients that name this company as their parent, not yet reviewed ownership.
Recipients (UEIs) tied to this company
- MAGMA SPACE INC · JZF5Y7VWJLJ1 · $5.1M
Each action counts for the company USAspending reported on that row, so a subsidiary's dollars count for Magma Space only for the period it reported Magma Space 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.
