Disclosed contracts in the sector — where the number comes from
- The calculation
- 60,835 contracts
- What goes in
Each contract is counted once, classified in this sector by the code of its contract line (failing that, of its oldest line). Modifications (amendments) do not make one more contract.
14,193 suppliers by name · 80 organisations · sector given by the source's code, under the contracts rule
60,835 disclosed federal contracts in this sector. A contract carries one code, hence one sector: sector totals partition the register — 102,617 contracts without a code or outside the rule stay outside every sector.
Contracts dated from February 8, 2005 to June 30, 2026

how it's calculated — How the price moved
How the price moved — where the number comes from
- What goes in
- By year of signature, not of disclosure: here the axis is the price's, and a signed contract has a date. Central publication was not mandatory before 2017: earlier years are lower, and the series says so instead of drawing a drop.

how it's calculated — Share by invitation
Share by invitation — where the number comes from
- The calculation
- 34,294 contracts by invitation ÷ 59,749 contracts with a classified method = 57.4%
- What goes in
The denominator only counts the sector's contracts whose method is classified: public call for tenders, selective, by invitation, sole-source. Left out: 1,086 contracts with an unclassified method.
Out of 59,749 contracts with a classified method; 1,086 unclassified, outside the denominator. Classified from the official contracts schema: “ACAN” counts as direct award, “Traditional” as by invitation. These figures describe buying practices, not irregularities.

How many suppliers share this market
14,193 distinct suppliers, by published name, hold at least one disclosed contract. The five most frequent account for 4.9% — 3,002 contracts.
Counted by number of contracts, never by amount — and without naming anyone: the source publishes acts, not a ranking. And without a business identity: two spellings of the same name are two suppliers here.
