Each action is credited by the ownership basis shown in its column. Reported-parent rows count for W S Darley & Co only for the period a subsidiary reported W S Darley & Co 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.
