Largest obligation first. An award is listed under the recipient of its latest action: if the recipient on an award's earlier actions differs, those actions appear on the award page but the award is not listed here, and this recipient's totals above still include the rows reported under it. Contract awards of $100k or more, every contract vehicle (IDV) and SBIR/STTR award, reviewed companies from $10k, and research-assistance programs on the reviewed allowlist (DoD, DOE and NASA from $10k, plus eligible DHS research) are listed; see the promotion rules. The other 2 awards with rows for this recipient are in the totals and can be found on USAspending by this UEI (ZMVNWF6KQMM1).
