Largest awards10

Awards marked “Outside DoW, DHS, DOE and NASA” come from the contractor-first USAspending search of this company's awards at every agency and are not in sector totals. Awards of DoW, DHS, DOE and NASA under $10,000 net are counted in totals but not listed; find them on USAspending ↗.

Signed obligations on federal prime contracts (award types A–D) from USAspending, FY2008 through Oct 9, 2026. Obligations are money the government committed, not company revenue, and include de-obligations. Subcontracts and grants are excluded. Matching is by registered UEI. “Including subsidiaries” adds our listed subsidiaries (from their acquisition date, where known) and actions whose reported parent is this company.

UEIs matched to this organization, largest obligations first. Subsidiary recipients are not included in this list; their attributed obligations can appear in the company totals above.

  • SERCO INC · DKJ1R5ABCN48 · $8.60B

Each action is credited by the ownership basis shown in its column. Reported-parent rows count for Serco Inc. only for the period a subsidiary reported Serco Inc. as its parent; reviewed links follow their reviewed dates. 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. FY2026 and later are partial, as on Markets.
